PQ54572: PROBLEMS DEPLOYING SIGNED JAR FILE. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
APAR status Closed as program error. Error description A customer is experiencing a problem deploying signed jar files, and has an ear file that contains some third party helper classes in a signed jar file (log.jar). This jar file was signed using Netscape's "signtool" and it creates a META-INF/manifest.mf entry. When deploying this ear using the "Install Enterprise Application wizard of the WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition(AE) 4.0.1 Admin Console, it will create a second entry named META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in the jar file. But according to the JDK(TM) 1.2 documentation (docs guide jar manif est.html) it should recognize (and use) the existing manifest.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users * * attempting to deploy EAR files * * containing signed jar files. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Signed jar files cause a security * * exception to be thrown. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** During install/deploy, common (utility) .jar files contained within an EAR file were modified. The MANIFEST.MF file in the JARs was being reserialized, which could change the order of the manifest entries and thus corrupt signed JARs.Problem conclusion The fix is to preserve the contents of the utility JARs exactly during install. ***************************************************** This APAR was originally closed as a suggestion, but it was decided to make this fix available in 4.0.4.Temporary fix Comments
