  FacesContext was not being closed when a JSF error condition
  or potentially a customer programming error occurred. This led
  to memory consumption problems and exceptions during follow-on
  request processing.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix implements try-catch blocks in all relevant Faces
  portelt methods to insure FacesContext closure even under
  error conditions. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted
  for inclusion in fixpack 8.0.0.15.  Please refer to the
