Abstract:  Upgrade vaprt.jar to be able to deploy apps developed on WSAD5

Description/symptom of problem:  This vaprt.jar contains updates to add the VapTimestampToUtilDateConverter which we use by default now
in some mapping scenarios in WSAD v5.  It also adds converters for using Oracle number types which are also now used by default and which would be missing from the WAS v4 runtime.  The new jar also contains fixes for the NameComposer and the VapUSPhoneNumberCompser which are broken in the previous JAR.  This will bring the vaprt.jar in synch with what is in v5 WAS runtime.  So basically, a customer using WSAD v5 and deploying to WAS v4 can be broken without this new vaprt.jar.  

Directions to apply fix:  
1) Create temporary "fix" directory to store the jar file:
 				AIX: /tmp/WebSphere/fix
   Solaris/Linux: /tmp/WebSphere/fix
 		  Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\fix

2) Copy jar file to the directory

3) Shutdown WebSphere

4)Create a <WASHOME>/Fix directory if one does not already exist

5) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear:
   java -jar <jarfile name> -backupJar <WASHOME>/Fix/<jar file name>_backup.jar

6) Restart WebSphere

7) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved.  Do not remove
	any files created and stored in the <WASHOME>/Fix directory.
   These files are required if a fix is to be removed.


Directions to remove fix:  
NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS
 		ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

Example:  If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be
			 removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.


1) Change directory to the fix location (<WASHOME>/Fix).

2) Shutdown WebSphere

3) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
	java -jar <backup_fix#>

4) Restart WebSphere


Directions to re-apply fix:  
Follow the instructions for applying a fix.

If the backup files still exist (from the previous fix application), you will be prompted to overwrite.

Answer "yes" at the overwrite prompts.
