Abstract:  When configuration changes are made using the administrative console and the "save" option is clicked, a servlet error is thrown.

Description/symptom of problem:  
PK44764 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
Any "Save" operation fails with ServletException: Missing       
message for key ""ChangesFound.??" on Administrative console    
for WebSphere Application Server 6.0.2.19.                      
This problem occurs only when the Application Server process is 
running with Japanese locale.                                   

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
Starting the application server process with English locale     
can prevent this issue.                                         

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
Users of IBM Websphere Application server
version 6.0.2 running on a non-English
locale operating system who try to make
configuration changes using the
administrative console

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When configuration changes are made
using the administrative console and
the "save" option is clicked, a servlet
error is thrown.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The following  error is thrown:

[servletException
in:/secure/tiles/synclist.jsp] Missing message for key
"ChangesFound.<locale message>"

This problem is a regression caused by changes that were made
for APAR PK07223.

The message to be displayed was being dynamically built and
the was partly in Enlish and partly locale specific,
causing the error.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
Code changes have been made to correctly identify the client    
session locale and build the message appropriately.             
                                                                
An Ifix for the APAR has been published and is available for    
download.                                                       
                                                                
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion       
in fixpack 6.0.2.21.
