![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Environment: WebSphere Appl. Server W401505 level - zOS 1.4 PSP0303 Problem: WebSphere Appl. Server W401505 level in plugin mode - we have the same problem as described by pq67436 (UQ72838 is applied) with session.cookie.path - but in plugin mode 'was.conf' needs to be honored instead of webcontainer.conf.Local fix A fixtest module with explaination and procedures can be found on httwas@us.ibm.com see: APAR # PQ83504 Response note and fixtest jar to be used until APAR/PTF is available. Target date 2/25/2004Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The was.conf property * * session.cookie.path is ignored if the * * was.conf property * * appserver.compliance.mode is true. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If WebSphere Application Server is running in full servlet 2.2 specification compliance mode (was.conf property appserver.compliance.mode has the value true) then the was.conf propert session.cookie.path is ignored. This results in the HTTP response header Set-Cookie field having as Path information the Web application root URI.Problem conclusion WebSphere Application Server is modified to use the value of the was.conf property session.cookie.path regardless of the setting of the property appserver.compliance.mode when directed to do so by the new was.conf property appserver.usesessioncookiepathalways having the value true. APAR PQ83504 requires the following change to documentation. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Appendix B was.conf file template of the WebSphere Application Server for OS/390 Standard Edition, Version 3.5: "Planning, Installing and Using" (GC344835-05) publication will be updated to include the following: #--------------------------------------------------------------# # # appserver.usesessioncookiepathalways=true|false # # Specifies whether the servlet engine is to always use the # value of the property session.cookie.path when setting the # session cookie path. A value of 'true' indicates that the # session cookie path will be set from the value of the # property session.cookie.path regardless of the setting for # the property appserver.compliance.mode. A value of 'false' # indicates that the server should examine the value of # the property appserver.compliance.mode to determine how to # set the session cookie path. # # The default value is false. # #--------------------------------------------------------------# NOTE: Periodically, we refresh the documentation on our Web site, so these changes might have been made before you read this text. To access the latest on-line documentation, go to the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS library page at URL: http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv /zos_os390/library/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ APAR PQ83504 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401609 of WebSphere Application Server version 4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.Temporary fix Comments
