Error description
The Compute Grid runtime provides functionality to persist data to Context. This functionality works only with PersistentMap provided by IBM, the PersistentMap doesn't support custom objects.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users of WebSphere Extended Deployment * * Compute Grid 8.0 and the batch function of * * WebSphere Application Server. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ClassNotFoundException for API * * methods * * getJobLevelPersistentUserData(), * * getStepLevelPersistentData() of class * * com.ibm.websphere.batch.context.JobStep * * Context, when using custom application * * classes in persistent data. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** To execute batch API methods: getJobLevelPersistentUserData(),getStepLevelPersistentData() of class com.ibm.websphere.batch.context.JobStepContext, the runtime must deserialize the persistent data from a previous execution, and load a class instance. When the object graph involves user-defined types (i.e. instances of classes packaged within the application archive(s) rather than the runtime or JDK libraries), you may experience a ClassNotFoundException or related symptom. The reason is that the wrong classloader is used to load object instances during deserialization, a classloader without visibility to the application level classes packaged within the application.
Problem conclusion
Deserialization of persistent user data was fixed to correctly start from the application level classloader within the classloader hierarchy. APAR PM87101 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 8.0.0.3 of WebSphere Compute Grid 8.0.
