    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server Liberty Profile using web            *
    *                  application bundles (WABs).                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WAB installation fails when a WAB       *
    *                      reusing the same context root as a      *
    *                      removed application is installed.       *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When removing then adding WABs using the same context-root
    there is a small timing window which means that the
    context-root for the old WAB is not released before the new
    WAB is installed. This causes the server to stop installing
    the new WAB as it detects the context root is already in use.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The queue for processing the WABs has been made sequential so
    that the installation of the new WAB does not start until the
    removal of the old WAB has completed. This means that the root
    context is freed up before the installation of the new WAB
    starts so the installation can continue normally.
