 Fixes are available

5.0.1: WebSphere Application Server Version 5.0 Fix Pack 1 (Version 5.0.1)
5.0.1: WebSphere Application Server Enterprise Edition Version 5.0 Fix Pack 1



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
The WebSphere CacheableCommandImpl was declaring the reset()
method as final which prevented CacheableCommands from being
reused for multiple requests.  This defect eliminates this
restriction by making the reset( ) method not final and allowing
CacheableCommands to be reused by an application program.

* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server developers      *

*                 class com.ibm.websphere.command.-            *
*                 CacheableCommandImpl interface               *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The CacheableCommandImp.reset()         *
*                      method cannot be extended because it    *
*                      is final.                               *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When attempting to extend the CacheableCommandImpl interface,
developers are unable to implement the reset() method with
their own version. The compile will fail because the method
is marked as final in the interface.
Problem conclusion
The method has been changed so that it is no longer marked
as final. This will give application developers the ability
to override the method; however, they must remember to call
super.reset() at the start of their method.
