Problem conclusion

• The Worklight client code was modified to allow the developers
  to control the application behavior by setting
  showCloseOnDirectUpdateFailure option to "false" in initOptions
  parameter that passed to WL.Client.init. In this case the
  application will enforce the user to complete the direct update
  procedure. (see
