PQ57532: THE STDOUT MESSAGE "SESSIONDATA:PUTVALUE - NUL VALUE ENTERED" SHOULD DISPLAY THE PARAMETER NAME TO MAKE THE MESSAGE MORE HELPFUL

A fix is available
WebSphere Application Server Version 3.5 Fix Pack 7 (3.5.7)

APAR

APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
The message SessionContext:putValue is null" is hard for a
customer to use since it does not identify which parameter is
being set to null.  If a customer's servlet is setting many
parameters, it is hard to pinpoint which one or ones are the
cause of this message.  Appending the parameter name would make
this message easier for the customer to make the necessary
changes to the application to prevent it from happening.
Local fix
The only workaround is to put an if test around each statement
to set a parameter to test for a null value.

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
If a null value is bound to the session object an error message
is logged in the Standard Output file saying that a null value
is being bound.  However, it does not give the name of the
paramater against which this value was being bound.
Problem conclusion
The error message appearing in the Standard Ouput logs  has
been changed to include
the name of the parameter whose value is null.
