Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: HTTP status code 200 is returned to a   *
*                      client when the servlet or JSP throws   *
*                      an exception.                           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The HTTP status code is not set when a servlet throws an
exception during servicing. Servlet caching catches exceptions
thrown by a servlet or JavaServer Page (JSP). The WebSphere
Application Server webcontainer does not see the exception and
does not set the error status code.

Problem conclusion

Servlet caching will re-throw exceptions caught while
servicing a servlet.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.43, 8.0.0.13, 8.5.5.11, 9.0.0.3 and fix pack
16.0.0.4 for WebSphere Application Server Liberty.  Please
