Error description

WebSphere Application Server [BASE edition, 7.0.0.5]

When a Session Object times out due to the timeout property and
a new Initial Context followed by a lookup is done the following
exception is encountered. This is due to the
WsSessionInvalidator Object creating a new thread that is not
associated with the J2EE application:

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server customers  *
*                  on version 7 who have defined http session  *
*                  listeners that access resources within the  *
*                  web module context.                         *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An exception is thrown during           *
*                      invalidation processing by session      *
*                      manager.                                *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
This problem occurs under the following conditions:
1. If no session persistence is configured, and
2. Session listeners have been defined, and
3. Session listener processing accesses resources in the web
module such as naming lookups or loading of classes.

During invalidation a ClassNotFoundException or
NameNotFoundException exception can be thrown when the
listener is fired.

Problem conclusion

Code changes have been made to the session manager to set the
context correctly during invalidation processing. This APAR is
not applicable to versions prior to V7.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.l1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
