APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you are using EJB Java client applications that are looking
  up EJB objects via JNDI-name on server-side and you stop the
  servers and clusters, the node-agents still allow lookup for
  these EJB objects even though the servers are already
  stoped. This may lead to corba-exceptions on the client side,
  because the naming-object returns, but the EJB object is not
  reachable anymore.
  
  Disable the name server cache for Corba object URLs prevents
  the problem from happening.

  ****************************************************************
  There is no mechanism to disable name server cache for Corba
  object URLs.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changed the name server implementation to provide a way to
  disable name server cache for Corba object URLs. To disable the
  cache, an end user needs to set the JVM custom property
  "com.ibm.websphere.naming.disableNameServerCacheForCorbaUrl" to
  true.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.10.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
