i-fix Name: PK44642


Problem Summary: Home and Site Map links don't work after session timeout


Detailed Problem Description: When the session expires and the message 
(Error Sessiontime out jsp) is  displayed the options Home and Site Map
are available from the Launch  menu but only cause the ErrorSessionTimeout 
page to be displayed again. Instead, they should allow the user, as 
anonymous user, to continue to the home page or site map.

If HTTP headers are observed using something like Fiddler, then it will
be noticed that the URL to the home page, after decoding, contains
screenTemplate='ErrorSessionTimeout'


Problem Analysis: The code that builds the Launch menu in the theme (mainMenu.jsp) should
specify screenTemplate='' in the navigationIRL tag to clear out the state which
is causeing the error page to be displayed each time Home is clicked.


Failing Module: wp.theme.webresources


Problem Solution: added screenTemplate='' to navigationURL tag in mainMenu.jsp


Affected Users: All customers


Requisites: PK29878


Platform Specific: No


Fix pack: This is planned to be integrated in WP Version 6.0.1.1 and 6.0.2


Installation Steps:

   NOTE:  YOU MUST FIRST DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE INSTALLER TOOL IN ORDER TO INSTALL A FIX.
          The Portal Update Installer can be downloaded from the following link:
          http://www.ibm.com/software/genservers/portal/support

   1. Create a temporary "fix" directory to store the PK44642.jar file.
   2. Copy PK44642.jar file to this directory.
   3. Shutdown WebSphere Portal.
   4. Ensure the pre-requisite fix(es) are installed.
   5. Follow the fix installation instructions that are packaged with
      the Portal Update Installer on how to install a fix.
      NOTE: You must also ensure all pre-requisite fix(es) are installed.
      If you do not, the Portal Update Installer will fail and will list
      the missing pre-requisite fix(es).
   6. While installing this iFix, some replacement JSPs were placed
      into the <PortalServerHome>/iFix/PK44642/wps.ear/wps.war/themes/html\IBM 
      directory. These are replacements for the original JSPs that were 
      installed with WebSphere Portal.
   7. Copy the existing JSPs to a safe location.  For example, copy
      the WebSphere/profiles/wp_profile/installedApps/<host>/wps.ear/wps.war/themes/html/IBM/mainMenu.jsp
      to a safe location.
   8. If you have made modifications to the original JSPs that were 
      installed with WebSphere Portal, then please consider these new 
      JSPs (from step 6) as guides and update your own modified JSPs 
      accordingly.     
      However, if your portal is still using the original JSPs that 
      were installed with WebSphere Portal, then use these new JSPs 
      (from step 6) to replace the ones that you backed up in step 7.
   9. Because these JSPs are destined for the wps.ear, they will need 
      to be updated in a manner similiar to deploying customized 
      themes and skins.  
      (9a) Please open the WebSphere Portal Info Center.
      (9b) Open "Designing the appearance of your site"
      (9c) Open "Deploying customized themes and skins"
      (9d) Follow the directions to update the affected JSPs
  10. Restart WebSphere Portal.
  11. The temporary fix directory created in step 1 can now be removed.


Un-Installation Steps:

NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE A 
       FIX UNLESS ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.
       YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

   1. Shutdown WebSphere Portal.
   2. Follow the instructions that are packaged with the
      Portal Update Installer on how to uninstall a fix.
   3. Restart WebSphere Portal.

NOTE: You will need to repeat the installation steps 8 - 10 above 
      to re-apply the saved file(s) from step 7.
