APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ?
  During deployment of CTG cicseci.rar from CTG 9.2 into a
  WebSphere Application server running with Java 8, the
  reauthentication-support attribute of an @Connector
  annotation is missing from the generated ra.xml.
  After installing the resource adapter, the descriptor (ra.xml)
  can be viewed in the administrative console by selecting:
  Resource adapters > ECIResourceAdapter > Deployment Descriptor
  The descriptor should contain a reauthentication-support
  element.
  For example:
  <reauthentication-support>true</reauthentication-support>
  Note: Ensure that CICS APAR PI89384 is applied.
  

Local fix

• If the JVM can switched temporarily to a lower level level, and
  the server restarted, the cicseci.rar can be deployed and
  annotation processed.   Once processed, the server can be
  restarted with Java 8.
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The reauthenticationSupport=true        *
  *                      attribute of a @Connector annotation    *
  *                      is lost after installation.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  When a resource adapter is installed on     *
  *                  WebSphere Application Server, and it        *
  *                  contains an @Connector( ...                 *
  *                  reauthenticationSupport=true ... ), a       *
  *                  reauthentication-support element should be  *
  *                  generated in the descriptor, ra.xml.  For   *
  *                  example:                                    *
  *                  <reauthentication-                          *

  *                  The ra.xml can be viewed in the             *
  *                  administrative console after the resource   *
  *                  adapter is installed by selecting           *
  *                  Resource adapters > ECIResourceAdapter >    *
  *                  Deployment Descriptor                       *
  *                  The problem seems to occur only when using  *
  *                  Java 8 because the order in which the       *
  *                  annotation attributes are processed         *
  *                  changes when using Java 8. The code was     *
  *                  sensitive to the processing order.          *
  ****************************************************************
  The code has been updated to process the annotation attributes
  of the @Connector annotation properly.
