Error description

  • The WAI javascript, that actually integrates the Portal page
    into an external Web Application, is delivered with the HTTP
    Response Content-Type text/html instead of text/javascript.
    This
    may cause issues with WebSeal, when it tries to inject
    HTML-Tags
    into this script and result in javascript syntax errors.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • The WAI javascript that actually integrates the Portal page into
    an external Web Application is delivered with the HTTP Response
    Content-Type text/html instead of text/javascript. This may
    cause issues with WebSeal, when it tries to inject HTML-Tags
    into this script and result in javascript
    syntax errors.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Fixed WAI and engine code to set the text/javascript
    content-type.
    
    Important information:
    In order to get the latest version of the WAI-Portlet, you need
    to download the portlet from the IBM Lotus and WebSphere Portal
    Business Solutions Catalog. Only using the latest version from
    the catalog with this APAR will fix the issue.
    Already generated WAI-<script> tags need to be re-generated with
    the updated WAI-Portlet to get the fix to work.
