Local fix
uninstall Default Application
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users deploying the * * DefaultApplication from WebSphere * * Application Server version 9.0.0.11. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The 9.0.0.11 version of * * DefaultApplication enabled file * * serving for the context root "/" which * * affected static file serving. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Customers who deploy the DefaultAppliction from version 9.0.0.11 and also use the WebSphere WebServer Plug-in, could see their static files no longer being served. With file serving enabled for the context root "/" by the DefaultApplication, static files are served from the WebSphere Application Server instead of by the WebSphere WebServer Plug-in. Customers who do not install the DefaultApplication will not see this behavior change. Customers who apply fix pack 9.0.0.11 over an existing installation, will not get the modified application installed automatically and will not see a behavior change.
Problem conclusion
This problem is being fixed in 9.0.5.0 by adding <enable-file-serving value="false"/> to the ibm-web-ext.xml file in the web module of DefaultApplication so that file serving is disabled by default. If you deployed the 9.0.0.11 version of DefaultApplication, redeploy the 9.0.5 version of DefaultApplication and regenerate your WebSphere WebServer Plug-in. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.5.0 Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
Temporary fix
If you experience this problem in 9.0.0.11, you can uninstall the DefaultApplication and regenerate your WebSphere WebServer Plug-in.
