  ****************************************************************
  You can log TPV data using TPV logging and view the data using
  "view Logs" option from the administrative console. Once you
  come back, as per design the previously viewed log will be
  saved as a link, so that if you want to view the same log
  in future you can directly select the Link. But in V6.1 when
  user comes back after viewing the TPV player you encounter
  an Exception in console like this:
  [ServletException
  in:/com/ibm/ws/console.tpv/genericTableLayout.jsp]
  java.lang.Boolean incompatible with java.lang.String'
  This is due to the fact that the JSP being used checks for
  type of String but the value which it is receiving of type
  Boolean.
  

Problem conclusion

• The above problem is due to the fact that a value of type
  Boolean is returned instead of String. Code has been corrected
  to make sure that the right type and value is returned
  and verified that the link to the log file previously viewed is
  presented instead of the exception
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.1.0.43.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
