Methods with a "cacheable" parameter in the

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Application Server version 6.0.2
users.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When the JNDI cache property "com.ibm.
websphere.naming.jndicache.cacheobject"
is set to "cleared", the first time
lookups on certain objects still get
the objects from a cache.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The objects aren't cleared from cache because the objects are
stored in the name space as CacheableReference objects, which
are not cleared by JNDI cache property setting per design.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
This fix will remove from the EJB Container code the usage of   
CacheableReferences.                                            
                                                                
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion       
in 6.0.2.19.
