Error description
Errors occur when using a Web to HOD Integration framework that comprises Customer's own developed JavaScript functions that interface with IBM's HOD Session Manager APIs. The custom function uses the Host On-Demand Session Manager APIs within an enterprise business application to open a 3270 session and send keystrokes and command keys from the business application to a 3270 session. Using Java 1.6.0_85 works fine. Using Java 1.8 revealed problems where if the user closes the HOD session and HOD browser, then attempts to open a new browser and HOD session from a test page or application, the browser will open but the HOD session will not. The following describes the sequence of events: 1. Open "Web to HOD Integration Test" page (HMWebToHODIntegrationTest.html). 2. Click "Launch HOD" button. 3. HOD browser opens. 4. HOD session opens. 5. Return to "Web to HOD Integration Test" page and click the "Close HOD" button. 6. HOD session closes. 7. HOD browser Closes. 8. Click "Launch HOD" button. 9. HOD browser opens. 10. HOD session does not open. a. The hodApplet.startSession function completes without error. b. Repeated invocation of the hodApplet.getSessionID function returns null.
