Error description
Product Version: WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.15 Operating System and Additonal Information: Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2 Java: Java version = 1.6.0, Java Compiler = j9jit24, Java VM name = IBM J9 VM Problem Description: An application archive (WAR file) contains a ZIP file, in which there is a file with DBCS characters in its name. When installing the application on WebSphere Application Server V7.0 through the Administrative Console, it will fail with an IllegalArgumentException. Application deployment processing, as updated for IBM WebSphere Application Server v7.0, adds processing of ZIP files contained within application archives. This added processing will cause an IllegalArgumentException from ZipInputStream.getUTF8String, when processing a ZIP archive which contains an entry which has DBCS characters in its name. The exception prevents application deployments. The ZIP processing was not performed on earlier versions of the application server. An option is required to allow the ZIP processing to be skipped.
Local fix
1. Rename the file with a English filename. 2. Re-assemble the application with the new file, then install it on WebSphere Application Server. 3. Update this application with the option "Replace or add a single file", and use the original ZIP file to finish the update.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server v7.0 and v8.0.0.0 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Processing of enterprise applications * * can generate exceptions when * * examining ZIP files in web module * * archives (WAR files). * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Processing steps for enterprise applications can generate exceptions when examining ZIP files in web module archives (WAR files). In particular, a ZIP file which contains elements which have double byte characters (DBCS characters) in the element names will cause an IllegalArgumentException. The exception arises from the method ZipInputStream.getUTF8String(). The processing steps are new to the v7.0 application server, and are required for cases when the application contains metadata encoded using java annotations.
Problem conclusion
To provide better backwards compatibility for applications for which ZIP files must not be examined, a new custom property has been created: Name: org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.disableZip Allowed Values: true, false Default Value: false Set this property as a custom property in the application server process which is to avoid processing ZIP files in web module archives (WAR files). The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs v7.0.0.19 and v8.0.0.1.
