Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server V8.0                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: New function is added in support of     *
  *                      the servlet 3.0 specification for       *
  *                      non-default cookie names.               *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Without this function, a non-default cookie name defined at
  the application or module level may not override the server
  level cookie name.
  If an application defines non-default cookies in the web.xml
  document, or via a ServletContextListener, those will
  correctly take precedence.
  

Problem conclusion

• Logic was added to correctly honor the precedence of
  non-default cookie names defined at the server, application,
  module, web.xml and ServletContextListener levels.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
