APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When JVM custom property
  com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.connectionKeepAlive is set
  to "false", persistent HTTP connection for outbound Web
  services requests is not disabled.
  
  When JVM custom property
  com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.requestResendEnabled is
  set to "true", request resend logic is not enabled.
  
  For example, following tracing messages may be seen:
  
  SOAPOverHTTPS 3   HTTPConstants.HTTP_REQUEST_RESEND : false
  ConfigFromJVM 3
  ...ConfigFromJVMProperties.persistConnEnabled() : true
  SOAPOverHTTPS 3   Persistent Connection : true

  correctly and to honor
