APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• This is low impact because it only occurs when user
  clicks "enter", and the routing rule could be set successfully.
  
  
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install WAS8551 with any topology.
  2. Open WAS admin console, then install two versions of an
  application.
  3.  Select any one version of the application, then go to its
  Routing Policies tab.
  4. Click Add Rule button.
  5. In the added rule, click Build subexpression link in Edit
  rule group, then a pupup page named WorkClassRuleBuilderDetail
  displays.
  6. Give some valid values, for example,
      Set select operand as Client IPV4
      Set Operator as Equals (=)
      Set Value as 9.119.154.68
  7. Click Enter in keyboard.
  
  Actual results: There would be a "null" message displaying in
  Messages tab. But those values could be set by clicking Build
  subexpression button in the page instead.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server                                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: "null" error message is shown if user   *
  *                      presses "Enter" key in                  *
  *                      WorkClassRuleBuilderDetail page         *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A "null" error message is shown if user presses the "Enter" key
  in WorkClassRuleBuilderDetail page while inside the "Value"
  box. Clicking the "Build subexpression" button works, which is
  expected to be the equivalent of pressing the "Enter" key.
