Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM WebSphere Application Server   *
  *                  V8.0 and V8.5 Administrative Console        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Using the OK or Cancel button on the    *
  *                      Trace Service page may cause a          *
  *                      ServletException to be reported on the  *
  *                      page.                                   *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Clicking the OK or Cancel button on a page automatically
  redirects you to the previous page in the breadcrumb list. Some
  pages incorrectly store te previous page you came from and can
  cause inconsistency between the type of the information bean
  the page expects and the type of the bean server initializes
  the page with. This causes a ServletException to be reported
  during page initialization.
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix corrects how previous page is handled during
  processing of Trace Service requests.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.0.0.5 and 8.5.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended
  Updates page for delivery information:
