PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:

IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 users of JavaServer Pages (JSP) files.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

A JSP compilation error occurs when the useJDKCompiler JSP attribute is set to true.

RECOMMENDATION:

None

If the useJDKCompiler JSP attribute is set to true in the application's ibm-web-ext.xmi or ibm-web-ext.xml file, the following exception will occur:

com.ibm.ws.jsp.JspCoreException: JSPG0049E: /index.jsp failed to compile:
<WAS_HOME>\profiles\<node>\temp\<node>\<server>\apps\testApp.war\_index.java:82: cannot access

com.ibm.ws.runtime.deploy.DeployedModule class file for com.ibm.ws.runtime.deploy.DeployedModule not found com.ibm.wsspi.webcontainer.annotation.AnnotationHelperManager

_jspx_aHelper = com.ibm.wsspi.webcontainer.annotation.AnnotationHelperManager.getInstance(getServletConfig().getServletContext());

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:

The JSP Container was modified to include the com.ibm.ws.runtime.deploy.DeployModule in the classpath of the compiler.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.0.0.6. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information:
