  ****************************************************************
  When using the following expression to check the JSP
  specification
  version, the resulting String object might have the wrong value
  on
  certain versions of WebSphere Application Server:
  javax.servlet.jsp.JspFactory.getDefaultFactory().getEngineInfo()
  .g
  etSpecificationVersion().
  Any version above WebSphere Application Server 7.0 will return
  2.1; however, the value returned on version 8.0, 8.5.5, and 9.0
  should be 2.2, 2.2, and 2.3, respectively.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JSP engine was modified to show the correct JSP specificatio
  number.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 9.0.0.6 and 18.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended
