Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server V6.1 and V7.0 who have created their *
*                  own Custom User Registry and return         *
*                  something other than List or ArrayList for  *
*                  getUsers/getGroups.                         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A class cast exception is thrown when   *
*                      searching for users or group in the     *
*                      App Management Map Roles to Users       *
*                      panel.                                  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The MapRoles to users code assumed that the return type from
getUsers/getGroups of any registry is ArrayList.  This causes
exceptions when other types are returned.

Problem conclusion

The code now gets a List rather than ArrayList.  The type
returned must implement List.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.27 and 7.0.0.7.  Please refer to the
