Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users who call  *
  *                 getResourceAsStream with paths containing    *
  *                 a plus sign '+'.                             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The getResourceAsStream() method will   *
  *                      return null even though the             *
  *                      getResource() method returns non-null.  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The wsjar protocol handler improperly decodes '+' in a path to
  the space character, which causes a search for the wrong
  resource.
  

Problem conclusion

• The wsjar protocol handler has been modified to not decode '+'.
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpacks 5.1.1.14, 6.0.2.17, and 6.1.0.7.
