Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server                                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If wsadmin is used to create            *
  *                      an ActivationSpec while the app         *
  *                      server is not runnning, a               *
  *                      NullPointerException might be thrown.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The version of MQ RA code is checked to determine whether
  JMS2.0 functions are supported. If the app server isn't
  running, this check fails because the information cannot be
  queried, and the NullPointerException results.
