PM70420: CANNOT CREATE COMPOSITION UNIT IN JAR SCENARIO

Error description

• I have a contribution asset that contains two jars. When I try
  to create the composition unit for the deployable composite
  listed  in my contribution file, I got a message complaining
  about some classes not found in the classloader.
  
  These classes actually reside in the two inner jars. My
  structure is something like this:
  /scaAccountServices.jar
     META-INF
         sca-contribution.xml
     AccountServices.composite
     org
        example
           accountservice
              impl
                 AccountServiceImpl.class
     scaAccountServicesWSDL.jar
     scaAccountServicesComponents.jar
  
  The classloading system can effectively load
  AccountServiceImpl class, that is in the same jar, but it
  cannot load any other *.class definition that is in the inner
  jars (other implementation and interfaces classes) as well as
  one WSDL file located in scaAccountServicesWSDL.jar inner jar

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WSDL and XSD resources may not be       *
  *                      found when contained either within a    *
  *                      nested jar or a dependent SCA           *
  *                      contribution                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When an SCA application uses an SCA contribution that contains
  jar files nested within the contribution or uses dependent SCA
  contributions, and the nested jars or dependent contributions
  contain WSDL or XSD files then those files may not be found as
  resources by the contribution class loader or by a web
  service ?wsdl URL.
  

Problem conclusion

• For SCA applications WebSphere now  supports  WSDL or XSD
  files within nested jars or dependent contributions.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
  page for delivery information:
  http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
  

Temporary fix

• Move WSDL and XSD resources to be within a single SCA
  contribution
