![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description If the customer codes HOSTNAME in webcontainer.conf in uppercase (host.default_host.alias=MVS3.hel.fi.ibm.com:80,MVS3:80) they receive an exception, ie: 'java.rmi.RemoteException:The host MVS3.hel.fi.ibm.com has not been defined;'. However if HOSTNAME is entered in lowercase (host.default_host.alias=mvs3.hel.fi.ibm .com:80,mvs3:80) it works successfully. The HOSTNAME should be case-insensitive. This problem has also been identified in internal defect 78006.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of the WebSphere Application * * Server Version V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If the alias name specified in * * webcontainer.conf for the * * host.<virtual_host>.alias property * * does not match the hostname entered on * * the browser, including the situation * * where the case of the name is * * different, a Web application not * * defined error will be displayed on the * * browser. The data displayed on the * * browser is: * * Virtual Host or Web Application Not * * Found * * The host <hostname>:<port> has not * * been defined * * IBM WebSphere Application Server * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If the alias name specified in the webcontainer.conf file for the host.<virtual_host>.alias property does not match the hostname entered on the browser, including the case the name is written in, the Web application not defined error message will be displayed on the browser. The code which matched the URI hostname to the alias value specified in the webcontainer.conf file for host.<virtual_host>.alias was written to be case-sensitive. This hostname matching has to be case-insensitive as per the J2EE specification.Problem conclusion The code was changed to make the hostname comparision case-insensitive. This change affects COMPID 5655A9800 R401 for z/OS and OS/390. The changes are stored in CMVC under defect number PQ57797. 401Y EJSJWBJR EJSJWCSC * Cross Reference between External and Internal NamesTemporary fix Comments
