APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Application update function does not retain post install
settings such as classloader settings, starting weight, and
shared library.  They are removed when a client choose to
update a deployed application and need to be configured again.
This APAR is to allow such metadata information be retained
after update.
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server V5.x users who  *
*                 update deployed applications.                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The application update function does    *
*                      not keep post install settings such as  *
*                      classloader settings, starting weight   *
*                      and shared library.  This requires a    *
*                      user to re-configure them after         *
*                      application update.                     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
These post install settings are stored in deployment.xml file.
The application update function needs to retain the old
deployment.xml file, extract these settings, and save them to
the new deployment.xml file created during the application
update.

Settings at the application level will now be retained.
Settings at the module level will be retained if the module
they are defined for is retained after the update.
Problem conclusion
Improved the application update code so it will now retain
post instal settings after the deployed application is updated.
