Error description
There is one section (at the bottom of the web page) in the Information Center which contains unreadable characters. I extracted the source from the Information Center site: <dd>PK58756 This method returns the underlying physical JDBC connection to the caller. Take caution when you ????? * use the underlying physical connections directly, because some important functions of the application ????? * server will be lost, such as the following: ????? * <li> Tracing </li> ????? * <li> Deferred enlistment </li> ????? * <li> Transaction management </li> ????? * <li> Exception mapping </li> ????? * <li> Connection pooling </li> ????? * ????? * Do not actually close the underlying physical connection; instead, close the connection handle from the application ????? * server. If you close the native connection handle, there will be failures the next time the application server uses the connection handle. ????? *???? <p> </p></dd> Links to Information Center pages (which have the problem) in V7 and V8: V7 http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v7r0/index.jsp? topic=%2 Fcom.ibm.websphere.javadoc.doc%2Fweb%2Fapidocs%2Fcom%2Fibm%2Fweb sphere%2 Frsadapter%2FWSCallHelper.html V8 http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v8r0/index.jsp? topic=%2 Fcom.ibm.websphere.javadoc.doc%2Fweb%2Fapidocs%2Fcom%2Fibm%2Fweb sphere%2 Frsadapter%2FWSCallHelper.html

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Information Center documentation * * displays invalid characters for the * * javadoc of * * WSCallHelper.getNativeConnection() * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The javadoc for the WSCallHelper.getNativeConnection() methods contains some invalid characters and this results in the Information Center displaying unwanted characters like "?????".
Problem conclusion
This javadoc has been updated such that the invalid characters are removed. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 6.1.0.43, 7.0.0.23 and 8.0.0.3.
