APAR PQ89563 addresses the following defects in WebSphere
Application Server V5.0 for z/OS:

(MD18843) This problem only occurs if the
Applications>>Install New Application path is taken in the
Administrative Console, and only if the Server Path radio button
is selected and the associated Browse button is clicked.  If
upon returning to the "Preparing for the application
installation" screen, the Cancel button is clicked, the
following servlet exception is displayed:

 ServletException in:/secure/layouts/pagingLayout.jsp  Cannot
find bean com.ibm.ws.console.appdeployment.
ApplicationDeploymentCollectionForm in scope null
' ServletException in:/secure/layouts/quicksearchLayout.jsp
Cannot find bean com.ibm.ws.console.appdeployment.
ApplicationDeploymentCollectionForm in scope session'

(MD18965) If the Deployment Manager, Node Agent, and AppServer
are all running with global security set on, and the
administrator turns global security off and recycles the
Deployment Manager (but does not recycle the Node Agent and
AppServer), the following error message will appear on the
Administrative Console when an application or server is started
or stopped:

Error 500

An error occurred while processing request: /admin/application
     DeploymentCollection.do

Message: Server caught unhandled exception from servlet
      action : null

Although the stack trace in the detail panel does indicate
a credential problem -- the node agent is still expecting
credentials -- this information is not readily available and
should appear in the message itself, as it does in WebSphere
on other platforms.

(MD19740) When using the wsadmin "installInteractive" command to
install some application ear files containing message-driven
EJBs, you may notice the following exception condition is
reported in the wsadmin.traceout log file:
   AppDeployment W Unexpected exception:
     java.lang.NullPointerException checking if EAR is deployed.
However, wsadmin reports that the application has been
successfully installed. Similarly, the same warning message may
be generated when installing certain applications using the
Administrative Console.

This problem will only occur under the following circumstances:
1.  The ear contains at least one message-driven EJB, and
2.  for all other EJBs in the ear (i.e., session and data beans)
    their respecive EJB jar files contain class files for their
    remote or local interfaces.
Problem conclusion
APAR PQ89563 fixes various defects in WebSphere Application
Server V5.0 for z/OS.

(MD18843) Defect MD18843 delivers the fix for WebSphere
Application Server for Distributed APAR 
PQ82151 into WebSphere
Application Server V5.0 for z/OS. The code was changed to handle
the problem condition and reload the "Preparing for the
application installation" page when the Cancel button is
clicked.

(MD18965) The z/OS code has been changed to produce the
following Error 500 screen:

Error 500

An error occurred while processing request: /admin/application
     DeploymentCollection.do

Message: Server caught unhandled exception from servlet
 action : ADMN0022E: Access denied for the stop operation on
Server MBean due to insufficient or empty credentials.

(The complete stack trace will be available if Details is
selected.)

(MD19740) The WebSphere code was modified to exclude
message-driven beans from checks for interface classes in EJB
jar files, since these beans do not have interfaces.

APAR PQ89563 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502010 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
