PQ87843: JAR files remain in the /WEB-INF/lib directory after an application is uninstalled.

APAR status
Closed as suggestion for future release.

Error description
After an application is uninstalled, some JAR files composing
the application are not deleted from the WEB-INF/lib directory,
disallowing new versions from be deployed (installed).
Local fix
(1) Extract the involved JARs in WEB-INF/lib to
WEB-INF/classes and delete the JARs in WEB-INF/lib.  This
possibly will cause file conflicts if there are several JARs
involved.

(2) Move involved JARs (from WEB-INF/lib) to WAS_HOME/lib/app,
this however has the disadvantage of scoping the JARs to the
server rather than the application, which disallows using
different versions of the JAR solution.
Problem summary Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments
This problem is fixed in V5, but a temporary fix is available
from the change team for v4.0.7.
