PK68282: SINGLE PORTLET ACTION NOT EXECUTED AFTER SESSION TIMEOUT.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After a session timeout occurred, there can be the case that the
  portlet action of one URL might not be executed.
  Instead of executing the portlet action, only the rendering
  method of the portlet is executed.
  

Local fix

• At the point of time when the session timeout occurs, the Action
  ID counter is reset, but the previously executed URL is saved
  with an action ID that was computed before the reset took place.
  Without the fix, the case can occur that this action ID is
  assigned with an action URL, again. Then, this URL would not
  execute the portlet action correctly, because the system detects
  that the action with this ID has already executed. The fix
  ensures that the action ID is not reset to a static value, but
  reset to a random initial value, so that it is almost impossible
  that duplicate action IDs are ever used.
