    If a CDI application uses decorators, under heavy load, an
    infinite loop may occur and then lead to StackOverflow
    error.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The CDI implementation on delegate handling was modified to
    correctly invoke the decorators.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 8.0.0.10 and 8.5.5.5.  Please refer to the
