Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.0 using servlet caching and * * manually updating the cachespec.xml in the * * installedApps directory. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Modifications to the cachespec.xml in * * the installedApps directory are not * * recognized by the dynacache service. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The API used by dynacache to obtain the installed path of an application is vaguely defined. Dynacache needs to use a more reliable API to obtain a consistent binaries path to the application.
Problem conclusion
The Dynacache service has been modified to use the correct API to obtain the directory where the application's binaries are installed on the file system. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.0.0.1.
