APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Running AdminConfig.create to create a J2EEResourceProperty'
  custom property with a value of " [\'value\',\'value\']"
  results in a leading blank space before the value.
  
  When configuring the custom property the space is required
  before the square brackets [ ] in order to include the square
  brackets in the value.  The resulting value when viewed from
  the administrative console will look like this:
  ['value','value']
  However, there is a blank space included in the custom property
  value in front of the open square bracket.
  
  <space>['value','value']

  an opening bracket requires using a space in front of it. The
  space was being incorrectly stored as part of the value.
