Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server users      *
  *                  using JAX-RS services in Restricted Mode.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Applications which worked in v7 could   *
  *                      fail to start when running in           *
  *                      restricted mode.                        *

  ****************************************************************
  When running in restricted mode in V8 or V8.5, the following
  message may be displayed for apps which worked in restricted
  mode in v7:
  ND 8.0.0.3: com.ibm.ws.exception.RuntimeWarning: com.ibm.ws.
  webcontainer.exception.WebAppNotLoadedException: Failed
  to load webapp:
  Failed to load webapp: KB005
  The problem occurred due to the classes that were added in V8.0
  for JAX-RS.  Some of those classes were necessary to run
  applications in Restricted Mode, but were not allowed to do
  so.  When  this occurred, apps would fail to load due to:
  "ProtectionCla 3   attempted to access protected class:
  com.ibm.ws.jaxrs.webcontainer.JAXRSServletContainerInitializer"
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem was resolved by adding the necessary classes to the
  Restricted Mode exception list.
  
  Note that use of restricted mode in production is not
  recommended.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.5 and 8.5.0.1  Please refer to the Recommended
  Updates page for delivery information:
