Error description

  • Some open source frameworks such as Jersey and Hadoop build
    dependancies cannot cope with non-jar urls. Some symptoms:
    
    com.sun.jersey.core.spi.scanning.ScannerException: The URI
    scheme wsjar of the URI wsjar:file:
    /wlp/usr/servers/waslp-server/apps/myWar.
    war/WEB-INF/lib/myjar-0.5.1-tests.jar!
    /org/apache/hadoop/chukwa/rest/resource is not supported. Pac
    scanning deployment is not supported for such URIs.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server Liberty Profile version 8.5.5.0 and  *
    *                  8.5.5.1                                     *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Liberty profile server does not allow   *
    *                      "jar:" URLs to be returned from         *
    *                      classloaders.                           *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Some open source frameworks throw errors when trying to
    process "wsjar:" URIs and WebSphere Application Server Liberty
    profile server does not provide a mechanism to return to
    "jar:" URIs.
    Typical error seen will be similar to:
    com.sun.jersey.core.spi.scanning.ScannerException: The URI
    scheme wsjar of the URI wsjar:file:
    /wlp/usr/servers/waslp-server/apps/myWar.
    war/WEB-INF/lib/myjar-0.5.1-tests.jar!
    /org/apache/hadoop/chukwa/rest/resource is not supported. Pac
    scanning deployment is not supported for such URIs.
    2013-10-07 00:39:22,901 ERROR [Default Executor-thread-5] org.a
    hadoop.hbase.mapreduce.TableMapReduceUtil: url=wsjar:file:
    /mylibraries/lib/zookeeper.jar!
    /org/apache/zookeeper/ZooKeeper.class
    

Problem conclusion

  • The configuration element below can be added to the server.xml
    file to enforce the JVM wide usage of "jar:" rather than
    "wsjar:".
    
    <classloading useJarUrls="true"/>
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.2. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
