Users affected

WebSphere® Application Server installations receiving query string parameters that are not valid for JSP™ requests are affected by this problem.

Description

Customer-defined error pages are not executed when query string parameters that are not valid are passed to a JSP resource. An uncatchable IllegalArgumentException is thrown when a query string that is not valid is sent to a JSP resource. The JSP Processor parses the query string prior to executing the JSP in search of the request parameter jsp_precompile. Since the default error page is also a JSP, the forwarding to the error page also fails with the same exception.

This prevents the custom error page from starting and results in a WebSphere-generated error page being sent to the client.

Conclusion

Exception handling to catch IllegalArgumentException when checking if the request parameter jsp_precompile was sent with the request has been added.
