Error description

  • The processing of an annotated class which implements an
    interface defined in a separate jar file can cause a
    ConcurrentModificationException.
    
    During annotations processing, the steps of determining which
    annotated classes are to be processed examines the interfaces of
    the candidate target classes.  That step of examining
    interfaces is causing a late load of an interface which
    contains annotations. The late load updates the annotation
    targets collections, which leads to the
    ConcurrentModificationException.
    
    Eg:

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server deploying applications which use     *
    *                  annotations.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A ConcurrentModificationException is    *
    *                      logged from annotations processing      *
    *                      while deploying an application.         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The processing of an annotated class which implements an
    interface defined in a separate jar file, where the interface
    is also annotated, causes a ConcurrentModificationException to
    be written to server log files.
    For example:
    0000001d annotations   E   Merge Processing Failure
    java.util.ConcurrentModificationException
    at
    java.util.HashMap$AbstractMapIterator.checkConcurrentMod(HashMap
    .java:122)
    at
    java.util.HashMap$AbstractMapIterator.makeNext(HashMap.java:127)
    at java.util.HashMap$ValueIterator.next(HashMap.java:212)
    at
    com.ibm.ws.amm.scan.AnnotationScannerImpl.getClassAnnotationTarg
    ets(AnnotationScannerImpl.java:303)
    at
    com.ibm.wsspi.amm.merge.AbstractMergeAction.mergeClassTargets(Ab
    stractMergeAction.java:320)
    at
    com.ibm.wsspi.amm.merge.AbstractMergeAction.merge(AbstractMergeA
    ction.java:123)
    at
    com.ibm.ws.amm.AnnotativeMetadataManagerImpl.performMergeOperati
    ons(AnnotativeMetadataManagerImpl.java:504)
    at
    com.ibm.ws.amm.AnnotativeMetadataManagerImpl.merge(AnnotativeMet
    adataManagerImpl.java:269)
    The exception does not cause the deployment to fail, but is
    written to server logs.  The exception does mean that steps
    of processing the application metadata may be incomplete.
    The features of an application which encounter the problem
    are:
    *) A module of the application is enabled for Java
    Enterprise Edition 5 or higher, and is enabled for annotations
    processing (is not metadata-complete).
    *) The module contains an annotated class which implements an
    interface which is defined outside of the module.  For
    example, the class might have an EJB annotation and might
    implement an interface defined in an application library jar
    file.
    *) The interface has an annotation.
    

Problem conclusion

  • A code update was made to prevent the concurrent modification
    exception.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 7.0.0.25, 8.0.0.4, and 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the
