    WebSphere Application Server, during application deployment,
    generates bindings and extensions files using an XML
    schema instead of an XMI schema.
    
    The following error will occur in the FFDC logs:

    When migrating an application from WebSphere Application
    Server V6.1 with the eature Pack for EJB 3.0, it is possible
    for an EJB3.0 module to contain XMI-style bindings and
    extensions files. When this application is migrated to the
    WebSphere Application Server V8.0.0.0, XMI-based bindings and
    extensions files are no longer used for EJB3.0 modules. The
    existence of both XML-based and XMI-based bindings and
    extensions files is not valid.
    

Problem conclusion

  • During application migration, XMI-based bindings and
    extensions files are now removed and any subsequent bindings
    and extensions information is saved using XML-based files. The
    information previously contained in the XMI-based files will
    need to be repopulated.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
