Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server with Java EE web modules containing  *
  *                  EJB jars.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After updating a deployed web module    *
  *                      which contains an EJB jar, the          *
  *                      application start can result in the     *
  *                      error: InjectionProc E   CWNEN0044E:    *
  *                      A resource reference binding could      *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The ibm-metadata.xml file contains a list of annotated classes
  found in the web module which are of significance to the
  module. This list is generated during the annotation scan
  process. When an EJB jar is included in the web module, a
  second annotation scan of classes significant to the EJB
  module is completed. The set of classes which is significant
  to the EJB module is different from the list for the web
  module.
  The results of the annotation scan are saved to
  ibm-metadata.xml at the conclusion of each scan and what has
  happened is that the scan for the EJB jar is completed last
  and the results from that are saved, resulting in an incorrect
  list of annotated classes. When the application is started,
  information from ibm-metadata.xml is used to configure the web
  module leading to the described error when a EJB resource
  reference from an incorrect class is processed.
  

Problem conclusion

• The annotation scan process has been updated to correctly
  merge the results from both the web module and EJB jar scans
  prior to saving to ibm-metadata.xml.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.5.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
