Problem conclusion

• The JSF 2.0 Portlet Bridge was updated to  use the WebSphere
  Application Server classloader rather than the current object
  class loader  to load the JSF component  and application
  classes.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.4 and 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended
  Updates page for delivery information:
