****************************************************************
While using the Dynamic Caching ( dynacache ) Cache Monitor
application, is it possible to try and view information for a
cache entry that is in the process of being invalidated.
This condition would result in a NullPointerException within
the Cache Monitor's JSP.
Problem conclusion
Updated ServletCacheMonitor.ear to fix this problem.
The fix was to check for this condition prior to displaying
the specific cache entry and to not display the entry if is
being invalidated.  This will prevent the exception.
Temporary fix
Test fix sent to customer.
