Abstract:  cdi fail to parse xml objects

Description/symptom of problem:  
PH01114 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
CDI is failing to protect its thread context when it creates    
XML parser objects                                              

LOCAL FIX:
NA                                                              

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of IBM WebSphere Application
Server

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
CDI overrides the default XML parser
during application startup.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The wrong classloader could be on the thread context when
parsing beans.xml files. This could result in the wrong XML
parser being used and an exception such as:
Caused by: javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError:
Provider javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory could not be
instantiated: java.util.ServiceConfigurationError:
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory: Provider
oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXParserFactory not found
at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.newInstance(Unknown
Source)
at
org.jboss.weld.xml.BeansXmlParser.parse(BeansXmlParser.java:85)
at
org.jboss.weld.bootstrap.WeldBootstrap.parse(WeldBootstrap.java:
131)

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
CDI now sets an appropriate thread context classloader before   
parsing beans.xml files                                         
                                                                
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
