PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of WebSphere Application Server

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
A Servlet ARchive (SAR) file wasn't
able to deploy in a cluster
environment.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

Due to changes in WebSphere Application Server not all of the
imports in MANIFEST.MF were properly updated. Application
deployment was not able to complete due to a missing include
statement.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
Missing imports were added to the MANIFEST.MF.                  
                                                                
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
