Error description Abstract : Introduce WebContainer property "DecodeURLAsUTF8" In the Fix a new WebContainer custom property will be introduced: "DecodeURLAsUTF8"Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server version 5 * * users who use URLs which are encoded * * based on the ISO character encoding. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A URL which is encoded based on the * * ISO character encoding, for example by * * including accented characters, is not * * handled correctly by the webcontainer * * and results in a 503 error. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The webcontainer assumes a URL is encoded based on the UTF-8 character encoding and as a result decodes the URL incorrectly. This error occurs after PK13792 which was included in 5.0.2.16 and 5.1.1.9.Problem conclusion A new webcontainer custom property, DecodeURLAsUTF8, is introduced. If this is set to True(default) a UTF8 decoder is used to decode a URL. If this is set to False the decoding technique used prior to PK13792 is used. Note: This custom property pre-exists in 6.x versions and the default has been chosen to be consistent with 6.x. Note: The setting of the custom property and its value is not case sensitive. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in cumulative fix 5.1.1.14.
