PROBLEM SUMMARY:?

USERS AFFECTED:
Websphere Process Server versions 6.1 and
6.1.2 users

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
This interim fix resolves the
following two problems related to
configuring connection factories from
Websphere Process Server Admin
Console in clustered environments:

1- A NullPointerException occurring
while configuring the connection
factories.
2- An empty list as a result of a
query on already configured
connection factories.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

Connection factories could not be configured from admin
console on clustered environments.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:?                                            
This fix resolves the NullPointerException and incorrect list   
result of querying the connection factories.
