  ****************************************************************
  The hang is due to an infinite loop while attempting to
  convert relative paths for conditions like this
  #{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/theme/ima
  ges/corePage/myImage.gif
  

Problem conclusion

• Relative paths like the one mentioned will now remain
  unchanged to prevent the infinite looping from occurring.
  
  The fix for this APAR is included in Rational Application
  Developer v8.0.4.2 and v8.5.1.
