APAR status |
Closed as program error.
| Error description
Customer defines /servlet as well as /servlet/* in the Servlet
Web Path List. The customer then tries to invoke a servlet using
the Invoker, and the invokation of the servlet has data like a
file name after the servlet name, this results in an infinite
loop. This is essentially the same loop as described in PQ48452
that seems to be still occurring. So, if the invokation is
http://localhost/servlet/SnoopServlet/filename.pdf, WebSphere
loops. It should either throw an exception or invoke the servlet
properly.

Keywords: Invoker Infinite Loop servlet hangs WebSphere Local fix
This can be prevented by removing the servlet entry from the
Servlet Web Path List. Problem summary

* InvokerServlet without able to *
* resolve the target servlet *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
By setting the websphere to run on the above settings causes
the websphere to loop by forwarding again and again to
InvokerServlet without able to resolve the target servlet. Problem conclusion
Problem is rectified by fixing the invokerservlet to put the
proper string in the StringMatcher table. An eFix has not
been provided, this will be available in 3.5.6. Temporary fixComments
