Abstract: WEBSPHERE FAILS TO CHECK IF DEPENDENT EJB JAR FILES ARE IN THE
CLASSPATH WHEN COMPILING JSP'S.

         
Symptoms of problem: 

The JSP batchcompiler requires the appending of dependent EJB
Jar files to the classpath when compiling JSPs.  When the jar
files are being appended, WebSphere does not check to see if the
jar file is already in the classpath.  This causes slow
compilation due to the fact that the search path for each JSP
will be increased by the number of times each Jar file is used

                   
NOTE: 
	
Directions to apply efix:
1) Create "efix" directory to store the efix jar file(s):
   AIX: /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/efix
   Solaris/Linux: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/efix
   Windows: c:\WebSphere\AppServer\efix
2) Copy pq53863.jar to the directory
3) Add the directory/jar file to the beginning of the admin server's classpath
  in admin.config:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminserver.classpath=C:/WebSphere/AppServer/efix/pq53863.jar...

4) Stop and restart the Admin Server
