    ****************************************************************
    An application or module processed by the IBM WebSphere
    Application Server has a class path which includes entries for
    java archives (JAR files) in the application library directory.
    
    Current behavior is to not expand manifest class path entries
    of java archives in the application library directory.
    
    This APAR adds three entry points which allow the manifest
    class path entries to be expanded.
    
    This APAR updates server runtime class path graph code to use
    the new API to obtain a dependency class path which has
    expanded library directory manifest class path entries.
    
    In detail:
    
    An application or module has a class path which is made
    available through several programming interfaces (APIs).  The
    following APIs are of note:
    
    org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.Archive:
      public RuntimeClasspathEntry[] getFullRuntimeClassPath();
      public RuntimeClasspathEntry[] getLocalRuntimeClassPath();
      public RuntimeClasspathEntry[] getDependencyClassPath();
    
    The behavior of these API's is as follows:
    
    Full runtime class path:
    
    The full runtime class path is the local runtime class path
    concatenated with the dependency class path.
    
    Local runtime class path:
    
    For non-WAR modules, the singleton containing the binaries
    path of the module.
    
    For WAR modules, the module binaries WEB-INF/classes
    directory, concatenated of all java archives under the
    WEB-INF/lib directory, plus the binaries path of the
    module.
    
    The local runtime class path does not expand manifest
    entries of java archives.
    
    Dependency class path:
    
    The concatenation of all java archives in the application
    library directory (for which the manifest entries are not
    expanded) with the java archives listed in the manifest class
    path (for which manifest entries are expanded).
    
    For backwards compatibility, these existing APIs are
    unchanged.  For this APAR, two constants and three API entry
    points were added:
    
    org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.Archive:
    
      public static final boolean DO_EXPAND_LIB_ENTRIES;
      public static final boolean DO_NOT_EXPAND_LIB_ENTRIES;
    
      public List<RuntimeClasspathEntry>
    getFullRuntimeClassPath(boolean expandLibEntries);
      public List<RuntimeClasspathEntry>
    getDependencyClassPath(boolean expandLibEntries);
      public List<RuntimeClasspathEntry>
    getLibraryDirectoryClassPath(Application appDDOverride,
    boolean expand);
    
    The behavior of the new API entry points is according to the
    'expandLibEntries' or 'expand' parameter.  If the parameter
    value is DO_NOT_EXPAND_LIB_ENTRIES (false), the behavior is the
    same as for the CORRESPONDING pre-APAR API entry points.  If
    the parameter value is DO_EXPAND_LIB_ENTRIES (true), the
    behavior is altered, such that expansion is performed on the
    manifest class path entries of java archives in the library
    directory.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This APAR adds three entry points which allow the manifest
    class path entries to be expanded.  Also, this APAR updates
    server runtime class path graph code to use the new API to
    obtain a dependency class path which has expanded library
    directory manifest class path entries.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.9.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
