Problem summary

• ==>Clicking a link that directs the browser to a URL, after
  initiating an event to start a long running AJAX service, causes
  Error Null to be displayed in browser.
  
  AFFECTED EDITIONS:
  ==> IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) v8.0.1.2, Advanced,
  Standard and Express
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  ==>When the link that directs the browser to a URL is clicked,
  the Coaches unload method is called. When the server completes
  its previously called service, a call to the Coaches load method
  is attempted, however, the Coach objects have been destroyed at
  that moment, and are unknown.
  

Problem conclusion

• ==>The fix will add a check to ensure the load method exists. If
  not, processing it will be skipped and redirect to the URL will
  be allowed to occur.
