Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  WebSphere Application Server users of UDDI  *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: UDDI GUI application cannot display     *
  *                      error conditions correctly, instead     *
  *                      reporting a                             *
  *                      java.lang.ClassCastException            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If the UDDI GUI application encounters an error condition, the
  error handling in the application should present the text
  of the error condition to the user.  Due to a bug in the error
  handling within the UDDI GUI application, a ClassCastException
  occurred and is reported to the user instead of the original
  error condition.
  

Problem conclusion

• The UDDI GUI application error handling was modified so that
  the ClassCastExcepion does not occur and the original error
  message is reported to the user.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix packs
  8.5.5.22 and 9.0.5.12. For more information, see 'Recommended
