ERROR DESCRIPTION:
If you are passing the java.math.BigDecimal class between 2 different
WebSphere domains and you migrate one of the domains to 4.03 with JDK 131,
you may have problems. The reason is that the java.math.BigDecimal class
was modified in JDK 131 and the orb on older versions of WebSphere may not
be able handle the differences. There are no problems passing this class
between 4.03 and 3.5.6.

RECOMMENDATION:
If you are passing the java.math.BigDecimal class between 2 different
WebSphere domains and you migrate one of the domains to 4.0.3 with JDK
131, you may have problems. The reason is that the java.math.BigDecimal
class was modified in JDK 131 and the orb on older versions of WebSphere
may not be able to handle the differences. There are no problems passing
this class between 4.0.3 and 3.5.6, but there were problems passing this
class between 3.5.5 to 4.0.3, 4.0.1 to 4.0.3, and 4.0.2 to 4.0.3.
