  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * After applying WORKLIGHT 6.2.0.1-IF201507302030 IFIX, the    *
  * way preferences in the config.xml were parsed has changed.   *
  * This brought to light a bug that was missed when setting the *
  * splashscreen preference, when passed the name of the         *
  * splashscreen file. The parsing of the splashscreen           *
  * preference was checking for an integer instead of a string,  *
  * so when the string name was passed to it, the                *
  * java.lang.NumberFormationException occurs.                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * -                                                            *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• Changing the parsing to check for a string instead of an integer
  allows the splashscreen to show and the application to run.
  
  After installing this iFix, rebuild the application.
