    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Vetoing is a CDI construct, however vetoing an EJB causes an
    exception rather than causing the EJB contianer to handle the
    bean.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A new check was added for vetoed EJBs which causes CDI to
    ignore them.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 9.0.0.4 and liberty 17.0.0.2.  Please refer to the
