APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Liberty profile V8.5.5.6 is shipped with full EJB 3.2
  support
  which includes support for EJB 2.x session beans along with
  the
  XMI binding and extension file support. When adding an EAR
  containing an EJB2.1 module with a Stateless Session bean
  that
  has a runAs configuration, the Liberty profile server throws
  the
  following exception:
  CWWKC2259E: Unexpected child element enterpriseBean of
  parent
  element methodElements encountered in the
  /META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi deployment descriptor on line
  6
  

Local fix

• Removing any <enterpriseBean> child
  elements of the
  <methodElements> element from /META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi
  deployment descriptor will remove the error.

  ****************************************************************
  The parsing of the child element <enterpriseBean> of
  <methodElements>, which is a child element of <runAsSettings>
  was not being handeled in the /META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi
  deployment descriptor.
  
  Customers with an <enterpriseBean> element defined will recieve
  the error: CWWKC2259E: Unexpected child element enterpriseBean
  of parent element methodElements encountered in the /META-
  INF/ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi deployment descriptor
  

Problem conclusion

• The code handling parsing of the ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi deployment
  descriptor has been updated to handle the child element
  <enterpriseBean>
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 8.5.5.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
  delivery information:
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
  

Temporary fix

• Removing any <enterpriseBean> child elements of the
  <methodElements> element from /META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi
  deployment descriptor will remove the error.
