Error description
Customer report on WebSphere 5.0 ND Solaris A Exception occurs
when
browsing from the AdminConsole in the left panel -> Environment
-> Manage Websphere Variables
The exception is:
[ServletException in:/secure/tiles/contextScopeTile.jsp] String

out of range: -3

Customer find a adminconsole bug that got to do with the scope
selection in the admin application.

...in the file
adminconsole.ear/adminconsole.war/secure/tiles/contextScopeTile.
jsp,
Line 68 searches for indexOf ("cell/") (The exact line is
"        int beginCell = currentScope.indexOf("cell/");")  This
line
should be searching for "cells/"   plural.

Since the code is searching for "cell/", it finds the end of our

cell
name and results in a string index out of range.   Typically,
the
"cell/" would not be found, the search would return -1, and 7
would be
added to -1 to result in position 6 which will work.

   IBM needs to fix this code to search for "cells/" instead of
"cell/"
