Error description
You can not include a remote configuration file in the server configuration. Also, if the server XML contains an XML stanza like the following then it will be processed incorrectly: <valueList> <value>someValue1</value> <value>someValue2</value> <value/> <value>someValue3</value> </valueList> In this case the empty value will not be seen. Instead of reading the valueList as (someValue1, someValue2, "", someValue3) it only reads the three defined values. If the a <featute/> element contains whitespace in its content then the feature will not be enabled on the server.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * * Liberty Profile * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: APAR PM69459 addresses the following * * issues: * * The Liberty server configuration file * * allows you to include configurations * * specified outside of the file. * * Currently, the included configuration * * must exist in another local file * * rather * * than a remote location. * * Empty XML attribute tags incorrectly * * processed as separate child elements * * If you have any white space before or * * after the feature name in the * * server.xml, the server fails to start. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Currently, the Liberty runtime only supports including other files into the server configuration file. It should be able to include configurations accessed from remote locations by HTTP or FTP. An XML element may have either child attributes or child elements. Child attributes are nested XML tags that are combined to form a list of attributes for the parent element. For example, the following XML stanza defines (someValue1, someValue2, "", someValue3) <valueList> <value>someValue1</value> <value>someValue2</value> <value/> <value>someValue3</value> </valueList> The empty tag <value/> in this case needs to be recognized as an attribute of the parent, and not a child element. If you see [ERROR ] CWWKF0001E: A feature definition could not be found for <feature name>, look in the server.xml and see if there are spaces between the feature name and the feature tags.
Problem conclusion
Capability to load remote configuration files was added. The configuration code was updated to reflect the proper difference between an attribute and element. In other words, if an empty nexted XML tag is read, it is first checked to see if an element definition exists in the metatype. If an element deinition exists, it is read as a config element and defaults processing is done. If no element definition exists, it is read as a config attribute as part of the parent element. The empty tag <value/> in this case is now recognized as an attribute of the parent, and not a child element. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.0.1.
