Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Users of the 'Logs and Trace' panel in the  *
  *                  IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.0 and   *
  *                  V8.5 administrative console.                *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Opening the 'Logs and Trace' panel      *
  *                      when 'Retain filter criteria' is        *
  *                      selected causes a benign exception to   *
  *                      be reported in SystemErr.log            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The default search field for this panel is 'server' but by
  mistake it has 'messageName' used on the first load of the
  panel when 'Retain filter criteria' is selected. This results
  in a 'NoSuchMethodException' reported but the code fails over
  to using 'server' afterwards.
  

Problem conclusion

• This fix corrects the name of the default search field to
  avoid the exception being thrown.
  
  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
