APAR PQ78452 addresses the following defects in
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS:

(MD17093) Reload Interval Field of Application Install allows
any value to be entered, rather than just integers.

There is no validation code to ensure the values entered
are infact integers.  Validation was added during installation
of an Application and also later when the value is modified
through the Administrative Console.

(MD17110) The product datasets allocations and the HFS
directories have changed since the product was first released.
The sample jobs need to be updated to reflect these changes.

(MD17146.2) Customers have requested the ability to protect
data flowing between the client and the daemon with SSL.
This item provides that ability.

(MD17226) Requests for servlet URIs issued through the HTTP
Plugin that have an appended querystring will be forwarded, by
the plugin, to the Application Server with the querystring
appended twice.

A servlet request that also contains a querystring and is issued
via the HTTP Plugin will be forwarded from the plugin to the
Application Server with the querystring appended to the URI
twice. For example, if the original request is:
          GET /myapp/hello?parm1=1 HTTP/1.1
The URL that will be forwarded from the plugin to the
Application Server will be:
          GET /myapp/hello?parm1=1?parm1=1 HTTP/1.1
Servlet requests that are issued via the HTTP Plugin but do not
contain a querystring are not affected by this problem.

(MD17389) References to PMI need to be added administrtive
console since PMI is now supported.

(MD17439.1) Support is need to add a new panel to the
administrative console. Add a new link "z/OS Location Service"
under the "System Administration" category in the navigation
tree. A click on the link leads to a new "Location Service
Daemon" panel to config the location service daemon.
This defect is to change the minimun number allowed for
daemon port and the SSL port from 0 to 1.

(MD17441) JMX should not allow user MBeans to be created in a
deployment manager or application server control process. (A
user MBean is an MBean in which the platform keyword is not
specified in the descriptor file for the MBean). A dynamic proxy
is automatically created in a control region when a user MBean
is registered in an associated servant process.

(MD17466) Storage overlay can occur whe large IIOP messages are
received. When a large message is received, if it does not fit
in the re-usable thread buffer, a new buffer is obtained for
this message.  The original buffer is released back into the
heap, however the code does not forget about the buffer and may
attempt to continue using it.  A large message is one greater
than 64K in length.

(MD17510) In administrative console on z/OS, bootstrap and orb
listener address must always have the same port number. This is
not enforced. Navigate to: End Points collection view of any
server (Deployment Manager, Node Agent, Aplication Server, JMS
Server, etc ). The bootstrap and the orb listener address must
always have the same port number.  When user changes bootstrap
port, the orb listener port must also be changed to the same
port number, and vice versa.

(MD17517) A SubtransactionUnavailable exception is thrown when a
stateful bean implementing the SessionSynchronization interface
calls an EJB deployed with a TxRequired or TxRequiresNew
transaction attribute.

The transaction service failed to break the thread/trasaction
association during the afterCompletion phase of a transaction.
Although complete, the transaction was still logically active.
This logically active transaction would cause a
SubtransactionsAvailable exception to be thrown when the EJB
container attempted to start a global transaction during
afterCompletion.
Problem conclusion
APAR PQ78452 fixes various defects in WebSphere Application
Server V5.0 for z/OS.

(MD17093) Added validation code to ensure values set are
appropriate for the reload interval.

(MD17110) BBOMKDIR has been changed to add additional
directories introduced into the WebSphere V5.0 product. BBOALLOC
has been updated to increase the size of libraries SBBOLOAD,
SBBOMIG, ABBOINC, ABBOMSG, ABBOOBJ, ABBOPLIB, ABBOSLIB,
ABBOPJPN, ABBOSLB2, and ABBOANT.

(MD17146.2) Support has been provided which allows client and
daemon to exchange data using SSL.

(MD17226) While the plugin is processing the request, the
querystring is added to the forwarded request at two different
spots in the code. The unneeded code has been deleted.

(MD17389) PMI reference have been added to the Administrative
console.

(MD17439.1) Support has been provided which adds the new link
"z/OS Location Service" under the "System Administration"
category in the navigation tree. The new link will lead to a
new "Location Service Daemon" panel which allows the
configuration for 5 required fields:
  jobName, hostname, port, sslPort, and sslSettings.
The minimun number allowed for daemon port and the
SSL port is set to 1.

(MD17441) JMX was modified to not allow user MBeans to be
registered in a deployment manager or application server control
 process. (User MBeans can be registered in a node agent control
process.)

(MD17466) Support has been modified to recognize the buffer had
been released and properly obtain a new one.

(MD17510) Support has been modified such that when the Apply or
OK button is clicked in the Named End Point Detail view, the
action class now checks if the end point displayed in the view
is either the bootstrap address or the orb listener address.
If it is the case, the port mumber of the two address will be
set to the same port number and the following warning message
will be displayed:
 "The port number of the bootstrap and the orb listener must be
  the same.  The change made to the port mumber in this view
  has caused the port number to change for both the bootstrap
  and the orb listener."

(MD17517) The thread/transaction association is now broken for
the duration of a transaction's afterCompletion phase.  This
change results in the appropriate behavior for stateful beans
implementing the SessionSynchronization interface.

APAR PQ78452 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W501000 of
WebSphere Application Server V5.0 for z/OS.
