CAUSE:
The setting for "class loading" is not properly configured in the IBM WebSphere enterprise applications.
ACTION:
See Installation and Configurationg Guide --> 7. Deploying Strategy Web Services --> Deploying with WebSphere and IBM HTTP Server --> Preparing for the application installation instructions.
To configure class loading, following steps should be performed in the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console:
1. Expand Applications, Application Types, and then WebSphere Enterprise Applications to display a list of installed applications;
2. In the list of Enterprise Applications, click on the application name just installed, for example, StrategyWS_war;
3. In the Detail Properties list, click on Class loading and update detection;
4. For the Class loader order, select Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last); click Apply; click Ok;
5. The page on the right pane returns to its previous main configuration tab;
6. Under Modules section, click on Manage Modules;
7. Under the Module header, click on the Strategy Web Services J2EE hyperlink;
8. In the Class loader order drop-down list, select Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last); click Apply; click Ok;
9. In the Messages box at the top of the page, click Save.
