APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • WebSphere Portal allows to manage a set of allowed languages
    using XMLAccess. If this set is reduced, incoming web requests
    that define removed languages in their accept-language header
    still will see localized texts in that language for resources
    that have defined localized texts (e.g. titles) in that
    language.
    This APAR introduces a new servlet filter that reduces the
    accept-language header information of incoming web requests to
    the only contain allowed languages. If there is no overlap of
    accept-language header and the set of allowed languages, the
    header is modified to only show the specified default language
    of WebSphere Portal.
