****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  WebSphere Application Server users of       *
*                  JAX-WS web service applications that        *
*                  utilize HTTP Cookies.                       *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Set-Cookie header returned by a     *
*                      server is not correctly separated       *
*                      into multiple cookies by a JAX-WS       *
*                      client                                  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:  Apply a fix pack that contains this APAR.   *
****************************************************************
When web service responses are returned with a Set-Cookie
header containing multiple cookies, the web service client
does not correctly parse the value. Instead of parsing the
multiple cookies into separate cookie instances, the web
services client treats the cookie values as a single cookie
instance.

The missing cookie information may cause spurious exceptions
in the client application.

Problem conclusion

The JAX-WS web services client attempted to parse the
Set-Cookie value returned from a server using an incorrect
token separator. This resulted in cookie values being
incorrectly calculated.

The web services client now parses the Set-Cookie value with
the correct token separator.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 7.0.0.3.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
