Closed as program error.
Error description
Note: PM27451 supersedes this fix. With URI Home Substitution enabled, it is possible for the necessary redirect to get lost in the state processing that follows (and should ideally be skipped entirely). This APAR re-implements the entire URI Home Substitution as servlet filter, thus eliminating the risk of the redirect to get as in the rest of the state processing.

Problem summary
With URI Home Substitution enabled, it is possible for the necessary redirect to get lost in the state processing that follows (and should ideally be skipped entirely).
Problem conclusion
This APAR re-implements the entire URI Home Substitution as servlet filter, thus eliminating the risk of the redirect to get as in the rest of the state processing. Manual Steps: In order to enable this functionality, the following two steps will be necessary: (1) Using the WAS Admin Console, set the following configuration property in the resource environment provider "WP ConfigService": uri.home.substitution=true (2) Add the following servlet filter and filter mapping to the web.xml of the wps.war file: <filter> <filter-name>Home Substitution Filter</filter-name> <filter-class>com.ibm.wps.engine.ServletSubstitutionFilter</filt er-class> </filter> .... <filter-mapping> <filter-name>Home Substitution Filter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/portal/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> Both filter and filter mapping can be added anywhere in the web.xml to the list of existing filter and filter mappings, ideally though they would go first. Please see the sections on Exporting and Redeploying the portal EAR file in the InfoCenter.
