Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zosConnect in IBM WebSphere * * Application Server Liberty * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Removing and readding the zosConnect * * feature can cause ClassCastExceptions * * during configuration processing * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The metatype definitions used for processing configuration for the zosConnect feature are not correctly cleaned up when the feature is removed. This can result in configuration not being processed if the feature is added to the configuration again without restarting the server. If this happens, the logs will show ClassCastExceptions when the zosConnect code attempts to cast the unprocessed String value to a Long.
Problem conclusion
The metatype registry will now be cleaned up correctly when features are removed. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 17.0.0.1. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
Temporary fix
If you remove the zosConnect feature, restart the server before adding it back again.
