Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server Verison 6.1 and Version 7.0          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Relax the restriction on some special   *
  *                      characters in a J2EEResourceProperty    *
  *                      config object name value.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The config service does not allow a name value of a config
  object, such as Property or J2EEResourceProperty, to contain
  special characters including '/\[]%:<>: ...'.  You are not
  able to create a J2EEResourceProperty config object when the
  config object name value contains special characters using
  wsadmin and it will fail with an InvalidAttributeValException.
  

Problem conclusion

• To prevent the InvalidAttributeValException, implemented the
  config service code so that it relaxes the restriction on the
  name value of a config object "Property" and
  "J2EEResourceProperty" containing special characters as needed.
  
  The fix will allow you to create a J2EEResourceProperty name
  value containing special characters when the system property
  com.ibm.websphere.management.configservice.validatePropNames=fal
  se is set.  The system property allows you to disable
  character validation for the name value of  "Property" and
  "J2EEResourceProperty" config objects in wsadmin.  When using
  wsadmin in connected mode, the property should be set at the
  deployment manager server using the
  AdminTask.setJVMSystemProperties command or through the
  administrative console.
  
  When using wsadmin in LOCAL mode (conntype=none), the property
  can be passed in as a javaoption:
  
  wsadmin -conntype none -javaoption
  "-Dcom.ibm.websphere.management.configservice.validatePropNames=
  false"
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 6.1.0.37 and 7.0.0.17.  Please refer to the
