  *                  Server using the administrative console to  *
  *                  add custom properties to a custom           *

  *                      custom repository.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:  Modify the custom properties using wsadmin  *
  *                  until the apar is available in a fixpack.   *
  ****************************************************************
  The administrative console did not handle custom properties
  that contained listed correctly.   The list in the custom
  property caused the administrative console to create a array
  that could not be parsed correctly.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code in the console was modified to handle lists
  correctly so that an ARRAYINDEXOUTOFBOUNDSECEPTION isn't
  thrown when adding/updating custom properties for a custom
  repository.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.17, 9.0.5.2.  Please refer to the Recommended
