Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
*                  Server                                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When deploying an application from a    *
*                      deployment manager running WebSphere    *
*                      Application Server V8.0 (or higher)     *
*                      to a node running WebSphere             *
*                      Application Server V7.0, the            *
*                      deployment fails.  This same            *
*                      application deploys successfully if     *
*                      the deployment manager is running       *
*                      WebSphere Application Server V7.0.      *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The deployment fails because the application contains Java EE
6 annotations.  WebSphere Application Server V7.0 is a Java EE
5 implementation and does not recognize Java EE 6 annotations.
It ignores the annotations and has no problem installing the
application.
WebSphere Application Server V8.0 (and higher) processes the
Java EE 6 annotations which causes the version of the
application to be upgraded.  Once the application is upgraded,
the deployment manager will not deploy the application to a
node running WebSphere Application Server V7.0.

Problem conclusion

This apar allows the usage of a custom property,
"org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.ignore.jee6.annotation
=true".  Setting the property to true will prevent the
application from processing Java EE 6
annotations. The default value is false.

An option at the application level is also provided.
Adding the following to the application META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
file will also prevent the application upgrade:

Ignore-JEE6-Annotation: true

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the
