Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.5 users *
  *                  of Service Component Architecture (SCA)     *
  *                  components or services wired over EJB       *
  *                  bindings                                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An unwanted FFDC incident report is     *
  *                      produced when the EJB is started.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The EJB container attempts to scan class bytecodes for certain
  metadata.  SCA dynamically generates the bean class in memory,
  so the class bytes are not found, and the EJB container
  produces an FFDC incident report.
  

Problem conclusion

• The FFDC incident report was removed, and an
  equivalent EJBContainer=all trace statement was added.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
