Error description
On systems where JSON has been made available to applications, for example via a shared library or packaged within an application, JSONException errors may occur, for example: Caused by: org.json.JSONException: JSONObject["id"] is not a string (class java.lang.Integer : 35706710). [8/7/24 7:40:06:952 CDT] 00000114 SystemErr R at org.json.JSONObject.wrongValueFormatException(JSONObject.java:29 10) [8/7/24 7:40:06:952 CDT] 00000114 SystemErr R at org.json.JSONObject.getString(JSONObject.java:859

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Applications that use JSON fail with * * org.json.JSONExceptions, for example: * * "JSONObject["id"] is not a string" * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The 9.3.0.* Versions of the MQ Resource Adapter contain a version of JSON within them. This version of JSON was made available on the Classpath to applications executing in the WebSphere Application Server. Exisiting applications that used JSON would now typically load the JSON classes from the MQ Resource Adapter instead of the version of JSON that they were originally utilizing.
Problem conclusion
The JSON libraries were not intended to be exposed from the MQ Resource Adapter for general use by applications. Processing of the MQ Resource Adapter no longer exposes the JSON libraries outside of the Resource Adapter to the application server's Classpath. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.5.22. For more information, see 'Recommended Updates for WebSphere Application Server': https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/715553
