Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users who use   *
*                 extra info tag to store and retrieve         *
*                 some variables in pageContext                *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When extra info tags are used in a JSP, *
*                      and variables are stored with           *
*                      PageContext.setAttribute, a null value  *
*                      will be returned when retrieving the    *
*                      variable.                               *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The WebSphere JSP compiler only retrieves attributes from the
page scope.  If the extra info variable is stored in the session
scope, it will not be retrieved by WebSphere.
Problem conclusion
To prevent a null value from being returned, the JSP compiler
will check attributes in both the page and the session scope.
