Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server having applications with             *
*                  annotations that define a default value     *
*                  for an attribute which is also an           *
*                  annotation. Not common.                     *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: During deployment there is a warning    *
*                      message "Call in violation of           *
*                      protocol" in the SystemOut.log file.    *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  The message can be ignored.                 *
****************************************************************
WebSphere Application Server deployment code scans applications
to find annotations during deployment of the application. The
scanning code does not handle the case where an annotation has
defined a default value for an annotation attribute which has
an annotation as its value.  A warning message is logged in
this
case.
In the example below, the Author annotation specifies the Date
annotation as a default value.
public @interface Date {
int day() default 1;
int month() default 1;
int year() default 2017;
}
public @interface Author {
String name();
Date date() default @Date(year=2020);
}

Problem conclusion

This case does not need to be implemented since
Java EE does not define any annotations that specify a default
value that is also an annotation.  The warning message is
unnecessary and can be ignored.  The code has been modified to
remove the warning message.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 8.5.5.13 and 9.0.0.5.  Please refer to the
