Error description

WebSphere annotation validation processing fails issuing the
following errors in the Deployment Manager's SystemOut.log file:
----------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------
This is due to a problem in the annotation scanning process
dealing with a cache that is used to hold the ClassInfo objects
during the annotation processing. When the cache reaches a
limit, older objects are removed from it as new ones are added.
The management of these removed objects causes the annotation
process to not find the list of interfaces for a class. This is
causing the annotation validation to fail as it can not confirm
that a class is a valid RMI type.

Local fix

Increasing the size of the cache may allow the process to
complete. The cache size can be changed by defining
the JVM property: 'classinfocachesize' for the servers
encountering the error. Set a value greater than the default
value of 2000.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server using Java EE annotations.           *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A CWWAM0003E error message is           *
*                      displayed during annotation processing  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The problem is due to a program error in the management of a
cache of class data used by annotations processing.
Annotation processing scans a class for annotations, adds a
ClassInfo object for it to a cache of scanned objects, and
adds the class name to a list. If the cache grows to exceed
its configured limits, ClassInfo objects will be removed from
the cache and garbage collected, but the class names are not
removed from the list of scanned classes.
This will cause a problem if there is a second reference to
the original class (from a child class) where a second scan of
the original class is started but aborted when the class name
is found on the list of already scanned classes. At this
point there is an assumption that a ClassInfo objects exists
even though it has been removed from the cache and garbage
collected.
Validation processing then fails because there is no ClassInfo
object found for the referenced class.

Problem conclusion

The class scanning function has been changed to recognize the
scenario described above and do a rescan of the class.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the
