CMIS and ICN in combination with Application Edition Manager (AEM) / Correct adjustment of Class Loader Order settings

When using Application Edition Manager (AEM) in Websphere Application Server in combination with a deployment of IBM CMIS and IBM Content Navigator, the Class Loader Order settings are incorrectly adjusted. This results that CMIS and ICN are not working properly (many HTTP 500 errors).

After a deployment of CMIS or ICN in combination with AEM, the Class Loader Order settings are set to 'Classes loaded with parent class loader first' .
This setting should be 'Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last).

Hereby the request for a code modificiation in the deployment script of CMIS and ICN to resolve this problem (deployapplication.tcl).
In the current situation, we are submitting a workaround after every CMIS and ICN deployment. This workaround includes manually adjusting Class Loader Settings

PMR reference with problem description: TS012856075
Within IBM, this PMR has been taken up to level 3 support of CMIS.

Thanks in advance.
