PQ81037: WEBSPHERE DOES NOT RELOAD THE PROPERTIES FILES WHEN YOU UPDATE THE EAR FILE.

APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
When updating an enterprise application ( stop ear, uninstall,
install and start ear) the properties files are not reloaded. So
the previous property files are useds.  Not until they recycle
the application server will the new property files be reloaded.
This is due to the "URLConnection" caching the connection
even after the app is reinstalled.
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application server users.      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WebSphere does not reload properties    *
*                      files when you update the EAR file      *
*                      without server restart                  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
If customer updates the EAR file with new properties files
inside, WebSphere may not correctly load these files without a
server restart.  In that case, customer may see application
loading contents from the original properties files or even
have problem in loading the files.
Problem conclusion
Code change has been made to disable URLConnection caching
which is by default enabled in JDK.
Temporary fix
Test fix has been provided to customer.
