APAR status Closed as documentation error. Error description If one migrates from the WebSphere Application Server V1.2, you might have used a continuation character ("\") on the servlet.servlet_name.initargs property in the was.conf file to include additional variables for the getInitParameter method because a maximum of 255 characters were allowed on a single line in the was.conf file. Since up to 1024 characters are allowed on a single line in the V3.5 was.conf file (and later versions as well), the use of this continuation character is no longer supported.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390 migrating from * * WebSphere Application Server v1.2. * * * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: After migrating to WebSphere * * Application Server V4.0.1 the use of * * continuation character "\" on the * * servlet.servlet_name.initargs property * * in the was.conf file is no longer * * supported. * * * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** After migrating from V1.2, the use of the continuation character "\" on the servlet.servlet_name.initargs property in the was.conf file is no longer supported. The "\" will not be processed as a continuation character but will be treated as a normal character. The result will be incorrect and/or missing initargs. For any servlet affected by the incorrectly processed initarg property, the init methods may fail, and/or incorrect results may occur for requests for any of these servlets.Problem conclusion The following note was added to the section "Passing init-parameters to a servlet" in Chapter 3 of "WebSphere Application Server Standard Edition Planning, Installing, and Using, V3.5", GC34-4835: Note: If you migrated from WebSphere Application Server V1.2, you might have used a continuation character (....\....) on the servlet.servlet_name.initargs property in the was.conf file to include additional variables for the getInitParameter method because a maximum of 255 characters were allowed on a single line in the was.conf file. Since up to 1024 characters are allowed on a single line in the V3.5 was.conf file, the use of this continuation charater is no longer supported.
