PM85886: INTERCEPTOR ANNOTATION LOGS ERROR UNLESS PLACED ON INTERCEPTOR OR BEAN CLASS

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

Deployment of a module containing a class annotated with
@AroundInvoke, @PostConstruct, or @PreDestroy when the class
containing the annotation is not an EJB class and is not marked
as an Interceptor class, will incorrectly generate a "Could not
locate target class" error displayed to server logs. The
annotations should be allowed when the target class is not an
EJB class and is not marked as an interceptor.

*                  Server using classes annotated with         *

*                      target class".                          *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When deploying an application which contains a class that uses
a Lifecycle annotation -- @AroundInvoke, @PostConstruct, or
@PreDestroy -- the error message "Could not locate target
class" is displayed when the annotation does not target an EJB
class and does not target an Interceptor class.
The message is incorrect to display because a Lifecycle
annotation is permitted to target a class which is neither
an EJB class nor an Interceptor class.  The case occurs
infrequently, but is possible, for example, when using
third party utility code, which may place Lifecycle
annotations on unused utility classes.

Problem conclusion

Code processing Lifecycle annotations was updated to omit
the error message.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.7 and 8.5.5.1.  Please refer to the
