Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server 5.0.x users     *
*                 attempting to apply JDK iFixes without the   *
*                 presence of the prereq.jdk component.        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The JDK iFix may not apply if the       *
*                      prereq.jdk component file is missing    *
*                      from the WebSphere Application Server   *
*                      installation.                           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
While attempting to apply JDK iFixes to some installations
of WebSphere, users may notice the following messages in
the iFix installation logs:

Retrieving efix information ...
Retrieving efix information ... done
Preparing component information ...
Testing component [ prereq.jdk ] ...
Testing component [ prereq.jdk ] ... not yet updated
Testing component [ prereq.jdk ] ... update and currently
                                     absent; omitting.

The messages appear because the prereq.jdk component file is
missing from the WebSphere installation folder.  The
UpdateInstaller assumes the prereq.jdk component is not
installed if this file is missing.
Problem conclusion
The fix will lay down the prereq.jdk component file in the
proper location so the UpdateInstaller will recognize
prereq.jdk as an installed component which may be updated
with an iFix.
