Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users who       *
*                 modify the deployment manager's transports   *
*                 and set the host="*"                         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Placing a "*" as the host name in the   *
*                      deployment manager transports did not   *
*                      default to the host name on that        *
*                      machine.  It was taken as a literal.    *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
A host="*" should be processed the same as host="" in the
transport section of the deployment manager.
Problem conclusion
The code was fixed to handle host="*" correctly.
