APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After adding or configuring additional content to the server
  (like installing a new feature or changing configured
  features in the server.xml), you may encounter exceptions
  related to resolving feature modules and bundles.  This may
  occur if you have WebSphere Liberty profile installed in a
  path using "unsafe" characters, such as a space.

  After adding or configuring additional content to the server
  (for example, installing a new feature or changing configured
  features in the server.xml), you may encounter exceptions
  related to resolving feature modules and bundles.  This may
  occur if you have WebSphere Liberty profile installed in a path
  using "unsafe" characters, such as a space.  Unsafe characters
  are defined in RFC1738 ( http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt ).
  Some examples of errors that can be observed in the console log
  file are:
  
  [ERROR   ] CWWKF0002E: A bundle could not be found for
  com.ibm.ws...
  or
  [ERROR   ] CWWKE0702E: Could not resolve module: com.ibm.ws...
  
  The exact bundle or module name is dependent on which content
  was added and/or configured in the server.
  
  The problem can be resolved by restarting the server using the
  "--clean" option.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code has been corrected to properly handle using the unsafe
  characters.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 8.5.5.8.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
  delivery information:
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
  

Temporary fix

• Restart the server with "--clean" option.
