JR49709: resolve REST command/databean framework concurrency issue

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The immediate problem is caused by the
  AbstractClassicResourceHandler using the generic activity token
  rather than generating a new generic user activity token for
  each request. The token is also not marked as temporary so that
  if the command updates the context data the token and the
  context data will be persisted into the CTX* tables which is not
   what we expect.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:

  REST APIs
  
   PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
   resolve REST command/databean framework concurrency issue
  
   BUSINESS IMPACT:

  to update the business context.
  
   RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• AbstractClassicResourceHandler will now generate a new generic
  user activity token for each request that doesn't come w/the
  REST tokens or session cookies, and it will be marked as
  temporary.
