PQ81764: Configuring the trusted mode to determine private HTTP headers
5.0.2: WebSphere Application Server Version 5.0 Fix Pack 2 (Version 5.0.2)



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
A JCA connection is stored in an HTTPSession object.  However,
when a servlet's service methods doPost or doGet terminate, the
web container closes the JCA connection.  According to the JCA
specification the container should close the connection when the
servlet is terminated via a destroy() method invocation.  This
means that the JCA connection should remain open after a servlet
completes a doPost or doGet.
Local fix
A workaround is not available for this problem.
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users with a    *
*                 web application which needs a JCA connection *
*                 after the service() methods(doPost(),        *
*                 doGet())                                     *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The JCA connection is closed before the *
*                      application component terminates        *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The JCA connection is closed immediately after the service()
methods(doPost(), doGet()) of the servlet is exited.  At this
point the servlet(web component) is not terminated. This
deviates from JCA specs as it says that the container should
close the JCA connections only when the application component
terminates.
Problem conclusion
WebSphere now closes the JCA connection after the application
component terminates.
