![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Has behavior changed for 4.0.4 plug-in? Because customer said th at he sees some behavior is changed. Per customer email stated t hat plug-in is not wokring correctly after installing PTF4. They should show that the WAS plug-in is sending the request to WAS when is should not. It appears to find a match on a URIGroup s but not the virtual host so it fails, then it continues to che ck URI Groups (so far so good) but then even though it does not find a match for the next URI Group it checks its virtual hosts and finds a match - this is wrong.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of IIS * * or IHS/apache. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: WAS plugin matches URI in early stage, * * fails to match same URI at later stage. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The WAS plugins were matching a URI in an early "see if WAS should handle this request" stage, and then failing to match the same URI once it got to the "handle the request" stage. The plugins would only do the false matching on a URI that matched a UriGroup and ANY other VhostGroup. ( normally, matches are only done across the UriGroup and VhostGroup pairs specified by the Route tags in the plugin-cfg ). This can only cause problems with IIS and possibly with IHS/Apache - and even then, the majority of customers will not have a configuration that will cause the defect to manifest.Problem conclusion Fixed the glitch in the matching code that allowed this cross-route matching to occur.Temporary fix Comments
