ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
The default server.xml  (templates/defaultServer/server.xml)    
in the WAS 8.5 flavor of Liberty 16.0.0.3

In the WAS 8.5 version of Liberty at the 16.0.0.2 level, it     
includes the jsp-2.2 features and an httpEndpoint stanza:

We should not regress the default server.xml, especially        
since many tutorials and some customer automation depend on     
the previous content.                                           
                                                                
The default server.xml in the WAS 9.0 Liberty 16.0.0.3          
continues to have a good bit more content (even more than in    
the WAS 8.5 16.0.0.2 copy).

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 Users of IBM WebSphere Application Server
Liberty V8.5.5 16.0.0.3.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Default server.xml is incorrect.

RECOMMENDATION:

offering.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The issue has been resolved by putting the correct default      
server.xml for the v85 offering.                                
                                                                
The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in    
concurrent ifx for fix pack 16.0.0.3.  Please refer to the
