Error description

Environment:
SuSE Linux 10
WebSphere Application Server V7.0.0.0 Network Deployment edition
.
Abstract:
Unable to create JCC Type2 datasource with Japanese Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6 browser.
.
Problem Description:
The customer tries to create DB2 JCC type2 datasource by the
following steps. But, he cannot change to "Driver type" 2.
.
1. Navigate Resources -> JDBC -> Data sources
2. Submit "New" button
3. Choose "Create new JDBC provider" or "Select an existing JDBC
provider"
4. Change "Driver type" to 2 from 4(default)
5. Value is unexpectedly brought back to 4
.
- If using Firefox or Internet Explorer7, this issue won't
happen.
- if changing browser language to en_US from ja, this sypmtom
also won't happen

Here are requested URLs internally when selecting "Driver type"
2.
If using Internet Explorer6 with lang=ja, the value of
currentStep is garbage.
It seems that this garbage value causes this unexpected issue.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server users of   *
*                  the administrative console who create a     *
*                  data source using Microsoft? Internet       *
*                  Explorer version 6 and the browser          *
*                  language set to Japanese (ja).              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using the Japanese Microsoft?      *
*                      Internet Explorer version 6, it was     *
*                      not possible to create a DB2 JCC type   *
*                      2 data source.                          *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The administrative console's data source wizard was not
functioning correctly when the browser was  Microsoft?
Internet Explorer version 6 and the browser's language was set
to Japanese (ja).  In particular, it was not possible to
create a DB2 JCC type 2 data source because the wizard would
not allow you to select a 2 for the "Driver type".   When 2
was selected for the"Driver type", the Driver type would
revert back to a 4 (which is the default). The data source
wizard was not correctly encoding the values from the wizard
panel.

Problem conclusion

The administrative console code was changed to encode the
administrative console's data source wizard.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 7.0.0.5.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
