Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM WebSphere Business Process     *
  *                  Choreographer                               *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: JMS messages serialized by version      *
  *                      7.0 cannot be processed by version 8.0  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  An internal EJB container class was updated to no longer
  implement Serializable.  WebSphere Business Process
  Choreographer inadvertantly serialized instances of this class
  in JMS messages, which means the messages cannot be
  deserialized by a V8.0 server.
  

Problem conclusion

• The internal EJB container class has been updated to support
  minimal deserialization.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.3.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
  page for delivery information:
