Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server Full * * Profile versions 8.0 and 8.5.5 users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Validation on the @WebServlet * * annotation incorrectly requires that * * the target class be typed as a * * javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Validation on the @WebServlet annotation incorrectly requires that the target class be typed as a javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet. The target class is only required to be typed as a class which implements the javax.servlet interface. In the case in which the target class is not typed as an HttpServlet, a ValidationException error such as the following is thrown: [10/15/14 11:36:59:431 EDT] 0000002d annotations E CWWAM0003E: An exception occurred while validating an annotation: com.ibm.wsspi.amm.validate.ValidationException: SRVE8016E: The @WebServlet annotation can not be applied to the class, javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet, because it extends the wrong super class
Problem conclusion
The WebContainer has been modified to allow validation on all javax.servlet types. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.0.0.11 and 8.5.5.6.
