PI33526;8.5.5: collectiveMember-1.0 exposes third-party JAX-RS APIs

Download Description

PI33526 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
Certain features that internally depend on JAX-RS expose
those APIs to user applications. These APIs include open
source classes such as Jackson and Apache Wink. If a user
specifies a feature that directly or indirectly depends on
the jaxrs-1.1 feature, then all user applications on that
server will be exposed to these API packages.

Some features that depend on jaxrs-1.1 include
restConnector-1.0, collectiveController-1.0,
collectiveMember-1.0, clusterMember-1.0, etc.

When these APIs are exposed, it can make it difficult for
user applications that want to package a different version
of these APIs.

LOCAL FIX:

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
All users of IBM WebSphere Application
Server Liberty Profile who also use SPSS
Analytic Server 2.0

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
collectiveMember-1.0 exposes third-
party APIs that conflict with SPSS
Analytic Server 2.0

RECOMMENDATION:
None

Certain features that internally depend on JAX-RS expose those
APIs to SPSS applications. These APIs conflict with APIs
provided by SPSS.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The fix for this APAR allows SPSS to specifically disable the
unwanted JAX-RS APIs.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
pack 8.5.5.5. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
