Download Description
PQ97053 resolves the following problem:

PROBLEM SUMMARY:

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere® Application Server users with applications sending multiple requests with some requests causing exceptions in the webContainer during the completion handling of such requests.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
In a multiple request scenario, when the first request is completed, the internal request parameters are supposed to reset to their initial values for the next request. However, if an exception occurred when completing the first request, these parameters are not reset. As a result, the old values of these internal request parameters will be used for the second request.

RECOMMENDATION:
The servlet request code should reset all internal parameters even if an exception is encountered.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Modify the servlet request code to reset all internal parameters after the exception is handled.

The fix for this APAR is available via interim fix PQ97053
