Error description

-Application server process properly functioning has been killed
(machine shutdown).

-Application server tries to start but hangs


SystemOut.log contains following error message

[4/27/09 10:07:05:764 CEST] 0000002e WSCRecoveryWr E
WTRN0040W: Object cannot be deserialized. The exception stack
trace follows: org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM:   vmcid: 0x0  minor

.....

The narrow() method throws a BAD_PARAM exception as the IDL
string in WSCoordinatorHelper class fails to match the typeId in
the IOR.
---------------------------------------
IDL string in the WSCoordinatorHelper class is:
IDL:com.ibm.ws.Transaction/JTS/WSCoordinator:1.0

The trace statement depicting this is:

[4/27/09 10:07:05:670 CEST] 0000002e ORBRas        >
com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.ClientDelegate is_a:399 Default : DMN0 Entry
IDL:com.ibm.ws.Transaction/JTS/WSCoordinator:1.0
class
com.ibm.org.omg.CORBA._ObjectStub
---------------------------------------
IDL string or the typeId in the IOR is:
IDL:JTS/WSCoordinator:1.0

The trace statement depicting this is:

[4/27/09 10:07:05:670 CEST] 0000002e WLMIOR        >  getWLMIOR
Entry
[4/27/09 10:07:05:670 CEST] 0000002e WLMIOR        3   getWLMIOR
-
typeid= IDL:JTS/WSCoordinator:1.0
---------------------------------------

Analysis reveals that the IOR contains the incorrect typeId. The
IOR is constructed from the bytes passed in by the Application
Server Configuration code:

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server with combined versions v5 and v6 or  *
*                  higher                                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM Exception       *
*                      occurs on a Server restart.             *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The problem arises when a transaction is started on a v5
Server and passed to a v6 or higher Server. If the v6 or higher
Server is restarted when it tries to do recovery the IDL from
the v5 transaction does not contain the package name
com.ibm.ws.Transaction so it fails.

Problem conclusion

The narrow call on the WSCoordinator which throws the
org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM Exception has been replaced with
an unchecked_narrow which does not have the strict requirement
on the IDL.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.29 and 7.0.0.7.  Please refer to the
