  Some Web service applications fail to start with the following
  exception:
  CWMDF0002E: Annotation processing failed with the following
  error:
  com.ibm.ws.metadata.annotations.AnnotationException: Annotation
  processing failed for class:

  Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem occurred because the Web services runtime code was
  scanninmg for annotations in files that existed in the
  WEB-INF/lib-provided directory.
  The problem was resolved by updating the code so that it only
  scans files that exist under WEB-INF/lib/.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.5.5.14 and 9.0.0.8.  Please refer to the
