Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments
APAR PQ65215 provides the following problem resolution:


83132, 83166, 83187, 83189, 83272, 83514, 83617, 83645, 83702 :
Service updates, previously
shipped for WebSphere AE V4.0.3
(fixpack 3), that also apply for  WebSphere Application Server
V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390 have been rolled up.


83602 - Classloader diagnostics have been improved.  The
classloader code has been modified. The updates to
com.ibm.ws.classloader.CompoundClassLoader.java are as follows:
1. Update the static initializer to issue an audit message when
   errors are encountered during setup of the plugin class.
2. Update method _defineClass where it catches exception
   Throwable so that an audit message is issued.

The updates to com.ibm.ws.classloader.EJBJarClassLoader.java
are as follows:
1. Update preLoadInterfaces where it catches an Exception. A
   trace audit message will be issued with text that indicates
   which Server, Application, Exception and potentially the
   classname being loaded. This will require factoring of the
   code to place the classname in a local method variable.
   Also, the loadClass calls should probably be moved outside
   the parameter list on the calls to _resolveClass.
2. _resolveClass should be updated to have try catch logic to
   allow a message to be issued for missing classes found
   during this process.

The updates to com.ibm.ws.classloader.ClassGraph are as follows:
1. Update the various places in the class where catches for
   exceptions are done and no action is taken. The action to be
   taken in these cases will be to issue a warning message
   (tr.audit) that explains the failure and to print the
   stack trace. An example of one of the places is in
   getManifestPaths method. A new JarFile and new Manifest class
   are provided and the IOException is caught and no action is
   taken. If we issue a message with appropriate information
   about the exception it will surface potentially misspelled
   items in the Manifest Class-Path.

The udpates to
com.ibm.ws.classloader.SinglePathClassProvider.java are
as follows:
1. Update catch blocks in the code to issue warning messages
   (use tr.audit)  for missing jar files. Some of the failures
   encountered are normal operation. Not all catch blocks need
   to have a message issued.


Additional Internal Defects corrected:
