APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the session listner, the customer read resource file with
  ClassLoader.gerResourceAsStream().
  ____________________________________________________________
  InputStream in = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()
  .getResourceAsStream("test.properties");
  ____________________________________________________________
  Usually, the resource file can be read with no problem. But,
  when stopping the application, the listener class can not read
  the resource file because it returns InputStream null.
  

Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V6.1 with HTTP session listeners     *
  *                  that depend on resources in the             *
  *                  application's classloader.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: During the stopping of a web            *
  *                      application, the session invalidation   *
  *                      thread's classloader is not set to      *
  *                      its application classloader causing     *
  *                      an exception.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  This problem occurs when the following conditions are met:
  (1) An application is being stopped
  (2) The application has session listeners defined.
  (3) The listeners depend on resources on the application's
  classloader.
  
  If all of the above conditions are met then the attempt to
  locate the resource in the applications' classloader will fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code changes have been made that will set the classloader
  correctly during the application stop.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.1.0.35.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
