Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: IBM WebSphere Application Server version     *
  *                 6.1 users who access a web application by    *
  *                 a servlet's classname.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The webcontainer will fail any request  *
  *                      to a servlet (by classname) that        *
  *                      follows an incorrect request of the     *
  *                      same servlet's name (but different      *
  *                      case).                                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When serving servlets by classname, an initial request to an
  incorrect case-sensitive servlet name will also cause any
  subsequent correct case servlet requests to fail until the
  application is restarted.
  For example, if the classname is myServlet, the fist request
  to /servlet/myservlet will fail. A second request to the
  correct one (/servlet/myServlet) will also fail.
  

Problem conclusion

• Applying this APAR and setting the web container custom
  property "com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servletcasesensitive" will
  serve only the correct case-sensitive servlet.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion
  in fixpack 6.1.0.9.
