APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In worklight.js the code does not check for a condition and
  fails if the isSuccessfull property is not set by the server.
  THis causes the client application to hang.
  For ex
  if (!transport.responseJSON.isSuccessful) {
  }
  

Local fix

• In the line 8488 in worklight.js
  
  if (!transport.
  responseJSON || (transport.responseJSON &&
  !transport.responseJSON.
  isSuccessful)) {
  }
  Not a recommended solution but it works
