Error description

  • When XtremeScale's servlet filter is called.  it is calling
    Liberty's doFilter with "HttpSessionResponseWrapper" as
    HttpServletResponse.
    This object is handled as HttpServletResponse OK until
    SSOCookieHelperImpl cast it to IExtendedResponse.
    IExtendedResponse class seems to have convenience method
    removeCookie() but actual httpServletReponse does not.
