    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The SSL Channel may throw a             *
    *                      java.lang.NumberFormatException when    *
    *                      using useProxyEndpointInformation       *

    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    If the SSL Channel custom property
    "useProxyEndpointInformation"
    is enabled, but the channel is not provided any proxy endpoint
    connection information, the channel may throw a number format
    exception such as:
    [8-5-17 15:08:52:451 CEST] 00000117 HttpOutboundC 1 Exception
    caught in oConn.connect attempt:java.lang.Number
    FormatException: null
    at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Integer.java:466)
    com.ibm.ws.ssl.channel.impl.SSLConnectionLink.connect
    (SSLConnectionLink.java:1063)
    

Problem conclusion

  • The SSL Channel was modified to account for configurations
    where the property is enabled but no proxy is defined. In this
    case, if no proxy hostname is provided, the proxy's peer
    connection information is utilized. This is functionally
    equivalent to the custom property being disabled. If a proxy
    hostname is provided, but the port is not, the proxy hostname
    is updated and the port will be defaulted to port 80.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.13 and 9.0.0.5.  Please refer to the Recommended
