Error description
The .pf files in the java/lib/cmm or java64/lib/cmm cannot be accessed via a call that does not supply the absolute path. However, there are several functions that can use these .pf files which do not take a file name parameter. Also, these files can be called under the covers by several different functions. This behavior was introduced due to a security fix added to Java (Sun bug 6631533). Some of the errors seen could be are: java.io.IOException: Cannot open file sRGB.pf at java.awt.color.ICC_Profile.getInstance(ICC_Profile.java:970) or java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can't load standard profile: GRAY.pf at java.awt.color.ICC_Profile$2.run(ICC_Profile.java:926) or java.lang.NullPointerException at java.awt.color.ICC_Profile.intFromBigEndian(ICC_Profile.java) at java.awt.color.ICC_Profile.getProfileClass(ICC_Profile.java:1169
Local fix
1. If the application directly calls a .pf file using the file name use the absolute path of the .pf file for the call. 2. If the application calls the .pf files indirectly please do the following: a. cd to /WAS_HOME/AppServer/java64/lib/cmm or WAS_HOME/AppServer/java/lib/cmm directory depending on if you are running in 64 bit mode or not. b. Issue the ls -E command c. The display above should show the symlinks and the actual file they reference d. The path given after the -> should be where the actual .pf file is located. However, you should check this by issuing the ls -E in the directory given for the symlink reference. e. Remove the symlink using the rm command. f. From the WAS_HOME/AppServer/java64/lib/cmm or WAS_HOME/AppServer/java/lib/cmm directory copy the real .pf file using the cp command.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server for z/OS V6.1.0 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Unable to access the .pf files in * * java/lib/cmm or java64/lib/cmm within * * a WebSphere for z/OS V6.1.0 * * configuration image * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** In IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Service Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.35 the .pf files in the java/lib/cmm or java64/lib/cmm path cannot be accessed on a call that does not supply the absolute path.
Problem conclusion
The script file that creates the symbolic links in the configuration file system was updated to copy the .pf files into the target configuration image (rather than generating symbolic links to these files). The presence of the actual files (rather than symbolic links to the files) in the configuration image resolves the problem. A post-install action was also provided to replace the symbolic links for these files with a copy of the actual files on existing configuration images. APAR PM25896 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.37 of WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Please refer to URL: //www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=404&uid=swg27006970 for Fix Pack availability.
