Error description

• Environment: Windows XP
  Rational Business Developer 7.5.1.6
  
  Description:
  Changing a password of the AS/400 user profile from a RUI
  application by calling an EGL service which uses the JT400 to
  perform the changePassword methode on the AS400 object.
  Like:
  as400 AS400 = new AS400(systemName, userId, oldPassword);
  as400.changePassword(oldPassword, newPassword);
  
  After the password is changed all open connections from WAS to
  the AS/400 fail once for the user.
