ERROR DESCRIPTION:
When registering Blueprint services, a java.lang.VerifyError:

LOCAL FIX:

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
All users of IBM WebSphere Application Server v7 with the OSGi Applications and Java Persistence API 2.0 feature pack installed

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Blueprint services may fail with a VerifyError: JVMVRFY041 invokespecial of wrong initializer; when being registered.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The JVM shipped with 7.0.0.25 has been upgraded to a version which has a security fix. This fix limits the context in which a constructor can be called from a class which causes this problem in the OSGi Application runtime proxying code.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The fix modifies the runtime proxying code to avoid calling constructors in the context now limited by the JVM.

This APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in JPA/OSGi Feature Pack fixpack 1.0.0.9.
