APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Validation on MultipartConfig annotations incorrectly requires
  that the target class be typed as an HttpServlet. The target
  class is only required to be typed as a Servlet. The following
  error is generated during the deployment of the application:

  ****************************************************************
  Validation on MultipartConfig annotations incorrectly requires
  that the target class be typed as a
  javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet. However, the target class is
  only required to be typed as a class that implements the
  javax.servlet interface. In the case in which the target class
  is not typed as an HttpServlet a ValidationException error
  such as the following is thrown:
  [10/15/14 11:36:59:431 EDT] 0000002d annotations   E
  CWWAM0003E: An exception occurred while validating an
  annotation: com.ibm.wsspi.amm.validate.ValidationException:
  SRVE8016E: The @MultipartConfig annotation can not be applied
  to the class, javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet, because it
  extends the wrong super class
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebContainer has been modified to allow validation on all
  javax.servlet types.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpacks 8.0.0.11 and 8.5.5.6. Please refer to the recommended
