Error description
java.rmi.RemoteException: The web group /xxx/index.html has not
been defined; nested exception is:
  com.ibm.servlet.engine.srp.SRPException: The web
group /xxx/index.html has not been defined
 com.ibm.servlet.engine.srp.SRPException: The web group /xxx/
index.html has not been defined
  at
com.ibm.servlet.engine.srp.ServletRequestProcessor.dispatchByURI
(ServletRequestProcessor.java:111)
  In the end, this problem was alleviated by the customer
commenting out the line "host.default_host.mimetypefile=" in
the webcontainer.conf file.
  The "WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390
Installation and Customization" book contains only the
following paragraph about this particular property:
"Changes to JVM properties
In Standard Edition V3.5, run-time settings, such as the
location of the JVM properties file, the level of logging that
is to be performed, and the location of the working directory,
were set in the was.conf file. In WebSphere for z/OS V4.0.1, the
run-time settings established for the J2EE server configuration
apply to the containers within that server. Therefore,
properties, such as appserver.jvm.properties file and appserver.
loglevel do not exist in the webcontainer.conf file.
  You still need to specify values for the host.<virtual-
hostname>.alias<hostname>|localhost, host.<virtual-hostname>.
mimetypefile, and host.<virtual-hostname>.contextroots
properties in the webcontainer.conf file, unless you choose to
use the default values set by IBM."  There is no mention in
this book of what the default is defined to be for
mimetypefile.  The actual default also appears to be different
than in WebSphere Application Server V3.5, which was
<install_root>/AppServer/properties/default_mimetype.properties.
In this case the customer's Version 4.0.1 systems had the
default_mimetype.properties in the
<install_root>/WebServerPlugIn/properties directory.
This is the default for the Plug-In.  The default for the
Web container is
 <install_root>/bin/default_mimetype.properties.
..
The customer had the exception on one but not the other
identical system: both systems had the default_mimetype.
properties file in the aforementioned path; only one system
received the java.rmi.RemoteException which was alleviated by
commenting out the host.default_host.mimetypefile=
line in the webcontainer.conf file.
Local fix
Comment out the following line in the webcontainer.conf file:
  host.default_host.mimetypefile=  .

The user encountered the following exception:
 java.rmi.RemoteException: The web group /xxx/index.html has not
 been defined; nested exception is:
  com.ibm.servlet.engine.srp.SRPException: The web
 group /xxx/index.html has not been defined.
The exception occurred on one of two identical systems, both
of which used the default value for property
 host.default_host.mimetypefile= in the webcontainer.conf file.
The default value is
  <install_root>/bin/default_mimetype.properties.

The error occurred because the Web container code searched
only for the word "host" when looking for the property
host.<virtual_host>.alias in the webcontainer.conf file.
The default value for the host.default_host.mimetype property
(<install_root>/bin/default_mimetype.properties)
in the webcontainer.conf file is used as the value for the
host.<virtual_host>.alias property since both of them start
with the word "host".  This causes the exception:
  java.rmi.RemoteException: The web group /xxx/index.html has
  not been defined.
Problem conclusion
The property host.default_host.mimetype in webcontainer.conf is
read for host.<virtual_host>.alias since both of them start
with the word "host". The  code has been changed to only read
the value for virtual host if the property starts with "host"
and ends with ".alias".

This change affects COMPID 5655A9800 R401 for z/OS and OS/390.
The code changes are stored in CMVC under defect number PQ57207.
