- The service level needs to be changed from 10 to 11.
- The complete Java interface (and its implementation) should
  be provided. The Web container will use this interface to
  notify SMF about any Web container activity that should be
  processed, such as HttpSession and servlet data.
- Web security support for Basic and Form Authentications
  should be added to the HTTP Transport Handler.
- The Web container should properly handle the situation where
  a Form Authentication request from the V4.0 plugIn carries
  an authorization  header.
Problem conclusion
- The Product Service Level is changed from 10 to 11.

- Java classes which record Web container event and interval
  data have been provided.

  A separate document, entitled "WebSphere Application
  Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390: SMF Recording and
