Directions to apply efix:

0) Stop WebSphere

1) Create backup directory to store the original WebSphere jar file(s):
   AIX: /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/backup_original
   Solaris/Linux: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/backup_original
   Windows: c:\WebSphere\AppServer\backup_original
   
2) Copy original iioprt.jar and rmiorb.jar into the directory /backup_original from
        c:\WebSphere\AppServer\jdk\jre\lib\ext
        
3) Copy new PQ60372xxx_xxxx.zip to a temp/ directory and unzip it. After unzip, you will find 2 jar files, iioprt.jar and rmiorb.jar
