Error description
When deploying or starting a web module, processing steps may include steps to process annotations of the web module. Those steps incorrectly scan classes and jars outside of WEB-INF, resulting in incorrect scan results, and higher processing times.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.0 deploying JavaEE5 (or higher) * * enabled applications * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Annotation scans of Web Module * * archives (WAR files) incorrectly scan * * locations outside of WEB-INF/classes * * and WEB-INF/lib. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Scans of annotation of Web Module archives (WAR files) incorrectly scan locations outside of WEB-INF/classes and outside of WEB-INF/lib. As a result, when a Web Module contains class files outside of WEB-INF/classes, or contains java archive files outside of WEB-INF/lib, those additional classes and java archives are scanned. (A class file is a file having the ".class" file extension; a java archive file, or JAR file, is a file having the ".jar" extension.) Depending on the contents and in particular depending on the the presence of annotations in the additional locations, the added scan can cause incorrect scan results. Depending on the quantity of classes and java archives in the additional locations, the time required to perform annotations scans can be larger than necessary.
Problem conclusion
Code updates were made to limit scans of classes of Web Module archives (WAR files) to just WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.0.0.1.
