PK70680: THE SESSIONVALIDATOR DOES A REDIRECT WITHOUT PASSING THE POST - SUBSTITUTES PK63445

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When setting timeout.resume.session=true in
  ConfigService.properties, Portal does not show an error message
  after a session timeout but creates a new session "on the fly".
  This is, in general, working fine.
  
  The problem appears only if the first request after the session
  timeout is a portlet action request
  containing POST parameters. In this case the portlet action is
  executed, but without the corresponding POST parameters.
  
  The SessionValidator does a Redirect without passing the POST
  parameters to the new URL. This way the paramters are lost.
  
  This APAR substitutes PK63445.
