  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If an HttpSession.equals method is      *
  *                      evoked and listenerMode=false, then an  *
  *                      exception causes the web request to     *
  *                      fail.                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The eXtreme Scale client implementation of the HTTP session
  component does not correctly handle calls to the equals method
  when the splicer property, listenerMode, is false.
  

Problem conclusion

• The eXtreme Scale client HTTP session component has been
  updated to handle the HttpSession.equals invocation correctly.
