APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The addNode step of the WebSphere Application Server Migration
  process may produce many org.xml.sax.SAXParseException error
  messages in the Deployment Manager's logs when one or more
  nodes contain applications with a portlet.xml resource.
  
  For example:
  
  [8/20/12 9:42:45:626 CDT] 000001b7 wtp           E   Failed to
  create document [
  public ID [ null ] and system ID [ null ] ] [
  org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
  cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting
  with element
  expiration-cache. One of
  {"http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd":in
  it-param,
  "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd":caching
  ,
  "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd":support
  s} is expected. ]

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server migrating nodes with applications    *
  *                  containing portlet.xml resources.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException error     *
  *                      messages appear in the Deployment       *
  *                      Manager logs.                           *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The addNode step of the WebSphere Application Server Migration
  process may produce org.xml.sax.SAXParseException error
  messages in the Deployment Manager logs. This can occur when
  applications installed on the migrating nodes contain
  META-INF/portlet.xml resources.
  An example of the error message is below:
  [8/20/12 9:42:45:626 CDT] 000001b7 wtp           E   Failed to
  create document [
  public ID [ null ] and system ID [ null ] ] [
  org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
  cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting
  with element
  expiration-cache. One of
  {"http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd":in
  it-param,
  "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-
  app_2_0.xsd":caching
  ,
  "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-
  app_2_0.xsd":support
  s} is expected. ]
  The addNode and overall migration operations complete
  successfully.
  

Problem conclusion

• Schema validation of certain application metadata is enabled
  during the migration process. The shipped version of
  portlet-app_2_0.xsd is not correct and has been updated to
  reflect the final revision of this document.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.6 and 8.5.0.1. Please refer to the
