APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using the @Asynchronous annotation, the following warning
  may be seen in the SystemOut.log:
  
  com.ibm.wsspi.amm.validate.ValidationException: CWWAM1101E: In
  class xxxx.xxxx.xxxx the method asyncMethod is
  annotated with @Asynchronous but must be applied to a business
  method of a bean class or to a business method of a Local/Remote
  business interface.

  com.ibm.ws.amm.validate.ejb.AsynchronousValidator.validateMethod
  Annotation(AsynchronousValidator.java:99)
   at
  com.ibm.ws.amm.validate.ejb.AsynchronousValidator.validate(Async
  hronousValidator.java:61)
  
  The cause of the warning is that the methods of classes that
  implement local or remote business interfaces are not being
  recognized as business methods.

  *                      local or remote business interfaces     *
  *                      are not being recognized as business    *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The logic to determine "business" methods is incorrect and
  returns a false determination when the method being evaluated
  implements a business method from an interface.
  

Problem conclusion

• The logic to determine if a method is a "business" method has
  been changed to correctly identify an implementing method as a
  business interface.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.6.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
