PM85765: CONTENTS OF CDI APPLICATIONS PRIVATE VARIABLE IS LOST

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) Extensions loaded from
a shared library may have an inconsistent state when
modified or accessed by package-private methods
Proof can be seen in the logs that the private variable had
contents and then later it can be seen that the contents are
gone.
technical details from the PMR that caused the creation of this
APAR:
----------------------------------------------------------------
- All debug messages "Discovered xxx with qualifiers yyy" come
from one and the same instance JpaRepositoryExtension@9dd26dcf
- The problem does not seem to be the second instance
JpaRepositoryExtension_$$_javassist_3@7c40c136 which is also
created.
- The following line is also written by instance
JpaRepositoryExtension@9dd26dcf :
[19.02.13 17:09:34:478 CET] 0000004d SystemOut     O
17:09:34.478 [server.startup : 1] WARN
o.s.d.j.r.cdi.JpaRepositoryExtension - did not find
entityManagerBean. entityManagers Map:{} |
qualifiers:[@javax.enterprise.inject.Any(),
@javax.enterprise.inject.Default()],
instance:org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.cdi.
JpaRepositoryExtension@9dd26dcf
The problem now is, that in this last statement, it shows that
the private variable JpaRepositoryExtension.entityManagers is an
empty Map !
But miliseconds before, the same private variable of the same
instance was filled with data:
[19.02.13 17:09:34:415 CET] 0000004d SystemOut     O
17:09:34.415 [server.startup : 1] DEBUG

JpaRepositoryExtension@9dd26dcf
All is done in the same Thread on the same server (there is only
1). But somehow, between 17:09:34:415 and 17:09:34:478, the
content of the private variable
(JpaRepositoryExtension@9dd26dcf).entityManagers gets
lost. But there is no method in class JpaRepositoryExtension
that deletes anything from this map. It somehow looks as if the
single instance JpaRepositoryExtension@9dd26dcf is internally
represented in 2 different memory areas ?

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server users of   *
*                  Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI).    *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CDI proxy might not pass through        *
*                      calls to package private methods to     *
*                      the underlying instance.                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When classes are located in an EAR/lib jar but are being
injected into a web module, the proxy class will not override
package private methods as it will be defined using the module
classloader.

Problem conclusion

When the "com.ibm.ws.cdi.javassist.use.superclass" property is
set to true in the
META-INF/openwebbeans/openwebbeans.properties file the
container will attempt to use the class's classloader to
define the proxy as long as that classloader has the necessary
visibility to the runtime classes.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.8 and 8.5.5.1.  Please refer to the
