APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• No FFDC or stack traces are logged for BundleException, which
  can make some errors difficult to understand:
  
  [ERROR   ] CWWKE0702E: The activator
  com.ibm.ws.example.TestActivator for
  bundle com.ibm.ws.example.bundle is invalid
  
  The underlying cause might be a NoClassDefFoundError, but the
  cause is obscured:
  
  com.ibm.ws.example.TestActivator for
  bundle com.ibm.ws.example.bundle is invalid
  Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
  com.ibm.ws.missing.Dependency
  Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
  com.ibm.ws.missing.Dependency

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Extenders of IBM WebSphere Application      *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The cause of a BundleException is not   *
  *                      printed to logs.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If a log service error occurs due to a BundleException, then a
  CWWKE0702E message is issued with the message of the
  BundleException only.  If the BundleException was caused by
  another exception, then the message of the BundleException is
  not sufficient to determine the underlying cause.
  

Problem conclusion

• The CWWKE0702E message is only used if the BundleException
  does not have a cause.  Otherwise, the CWWKE0701E message is
  used, which includes a full stack trace.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.1. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
