Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server deploying or starting applications. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Deployment Descriptors with elements * * containing 1 or more spaces but * * otherwise empty causes a * * StringIndexOutOfBoundsException's * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Deployment descriptors for Java Enterprise Edition applications and modules are XML documents. Elements within these resources may be specified with a variety of values. For example: ... <servlet>com.ibm.TestServlet</servlet> ... StringIndexOutOfBoundsException's occur during processing of the deployment descriptor when the value of these XML elements contains 1 or more spaces but is otherwise empty. ... <init-param> </init-param> ...
Problem conclusion
The module responsible for processing these values has been updated to properly handle this scenario. A work-around is for deployment descriptors to be updated to remove these elements or provide additional non-whitespace characters. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 6.1.0.43, 7.0.0.23, and 8.0.0.3.
