![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description This is an internal APAR to fix defects found during testing of WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390. This APAR also includes fixes for defects that were found in Version 3.5 and Version 4.0 that also apply to V4.0.1.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * Version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The APAR fixes defects found during * * internal testing for WebSphere * * Application Server Version 4.0.1 for * * z/OS and OS/390.

In addition, fixes for defects found during internal testing are included. Internal Defect Summary: 78193 - Although both Parser and Compiler process correctly, the exception thrown was not properly caught. Thus, status 200 is incorrectly returned. 78794 - When property WebAuth.UnauthenticatedUserSurrogate is provided in the webcontainer.conf configuration file, the Server will do a surrogate login with the given id. No error returns to the client when the login fails. 78821 - A leading slash is always used for URL pattern matching internally, thus an incorrect assumption was made to require this leading slash in the extension match case. According to Servlet 2.2 Specifications, the leading slash is not required. 78887 - The service level needs to be changed from 2 to 3. 78988 - The extraneous square box character at the lower left of simple.jsp output is caused by storing the JSP in the wrong format. 79064 - WebSphere Application Server provides a FormLoginServlet servlet for the J2EE form-based login support. This servlet is invoked when a j_security_check is posted for a Web application. It handles the login with userid/password and then forwards the original request. This servlet is unnecessarily generated for every Web application. 79080 - The trace method Tr.uncondEvent() is used to generate messages describing the runtime version for the Web container. To have the messages come out all the time requires that a different trace method be used. 79106 - The output of a JSP file, either static text or JSP code is being truncated when the code spans multiple lines in debug mode. The problem is in Parser.java; the code that starts with if(wasDebugOn){...} is causing the problem. 79143 - There is an error in the jasper.mak file which prevents files in the child directory runtime from being compiled 79144 - Changes are required for Soap Security support to function when the IBM Software Development Kit for Java PTF for APAR PQ54533 becomes available. The following Version 3.5 and Version 4.0 APAR fixes are added to Version 4.0.1 and shipped with this APAR. Refer to the closing text for individual APARs for more information about the reported problem. The APAR Abstract information is provided here.

PQ53606 - (for V4.0 Plug-In) APAR TO PROVIDE CLASSLOADER INTERFACES TO ENABLE DYNAMIC CLASS BYTE MANIPULATION PQ54176 - JSP WITH TSX:REPEAT RECEIVES BROWSER ERROR "UNDEFINED VARIABLE OR CLASS NAME" PQ54187 - WHEN AN APPLICATION USES THE SERVICE SESSION POOL FOR JDBC CONNECTIONS, THE CONNECTION IS OBTAINED READ-ONLY PQ54575 - WEBSPHERE V3.5 SERVES JSP/HTML DOCUMENTS TO CLIENTS FROM WEB-INF DIRECTORY IN CONTRADICTION TO SECTION 9.4 OF SERVLET 2.2 SPEC PQ55408 - A NULL CONNECTION ID IS RETURNED WHEN JDBC IS USED TO CONNECT TO A DB2 V7 DATABASEProblem conclusion Defect 78193 - Change handlePageException method in PageContextImpl class to catch the thowable and forward (or include) to its errorPage URL, if it exists. Otherwise, continue to throw the known exception (IOException, ServletException, RuntimeException) or a new ServletException for all other unknown exceptions. Defect 78794 - The code was changed to return status code 500 to the client when WebSphere Application Server failed to login with the given surrogate id. Defect 78821 - A slash is added internally at the beginning during URL pattern matching in the case of extension matching. Defect 78887 - The Product Service Level is changed from 2 to 3, and the Product Service Descriptor is changed from L00PTF02 to L00PTF03 for both the Plug-In and the Web container. Defect 78988 - File simple.jsp was changed from a text file to a binary file. Defect 79064 - A check is made and FormLoginServlet servlet is only generated for a Web application that requires form-based login security. Defect 79080 - Method Tr.audit() is now used to generate the messages describing the runtime version for the Web container. The messages show up in the V4.0 job log when tracing is turned off. Defect 79106 - The block of code "if(wasDebugOn){...}" is removed. Defect 79143 - Make file jasper.mak was changed to compile child directory runtime. Defect 79144 - JAR files soap-sec.jar, SoapEnabler.jar, and xss4j-dsig.jar are replaced. For the following Version 3.5 and 4.0 Plug-In APARs, please refer to the closing text for the individual APARs for the changes that were made.
