Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM Liberty Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The HTTP Channel should throw a * * java.io.IOException when an inbound * * connection is closed while still in * * use * * by the servlet * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The HTTP Channel should throw an IOException when an inbound connection is closed while still in use by the servlet, so the application can handle the connection being closed.
Problem conclusion
The HTTP Channel will now throw an IOException if an inbound connection is closed while still in use by the servlet. A new custom property was added to the HTTP Channel to enable this new behavior. The property name is: "ThrowIOEForInboundConnections" with a possible value of "true" or "false", with the default being "false". To enable the new behavior add the following configuration option in the HTTP endpoint section of the server.xml <httpOptions ThrowIOEForInboundConnections="true"/> The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.9. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980 Note that an IOException can not be thrown to a Java Server Page (JSP) regardless of the ThrowIOEForInboundConnections setting.
