Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of        *
*                 dynacache servlet caching who wish to set a  *
*                 header to a null value.                      *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When you try to set a header to a       *
*                      null value with servlet caching         *
*                      enabled, Dynacache will throw an        *
*                      exception.                              *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When a header is set to a null value with servlet caching
enabled, Dynacache will throw an IllegalArgumentException.
Instead, it should clear the header.
Problem conclusion
After applying this APAR, Dynacache will no longer throw the
IllegalArgumentException when a null value is passed to the
setHeader method.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion
in cumulative fix 5.1.1.13 and fixpacks 6.0.2.17, and 6.1.0.5.
