  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Invalid class path entry seen with      *
  *                      verbose logging on Java Virtual Machine *

  ****************************************************************
  In 7.0.0.23, the jar file ibmxmlcrypto.jar was moved within the
  java folder to a new location. The old symbolic link pointing
  from the config root to the old location of the jar file was not
  removed. This causes a warning to show up when verbose logging
  is enabled as the file cannot be loaded into the class path
  since it does not exist.
  The jar file is loaded from the new location and the message
  seen can safely be ignored without issues arising.
  

Problem conclusion

• The dangling symbolic link was removed and the jar file is
  loaded from the new location.
  
  APAR PM78812 is currently targeted for inclusion in
  WebSphere Application Server Fix Pack 7.0.0.29.
