  Annotation scanning filters were never intended to be used to
  avoid scanning corrupt classes in an application.  The intent
  was to reduce the amount of annotation scanning as a
  performance improvement.  Thus, not all components of
  WebSphere Application Server that do annotation scanning
  implement the filters.
  If you are using annotation scanning filters to completely
  avoid scanning a particular class because the class is
  corrupt, an exception similar to the following might occur.

  The above exception occurs because the CDI component does not
  implement annotation scanning filters.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been updated, and the CDI component now implements
  annotation scanning filters.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 9.0.5.8.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
