Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
  *                  Server Version 6.1.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A public method to add a global         *
  *                      listener is not provided by the         *
  *                      WebContainer.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A method is required to enable global listeners to be registered
  through a public API. In Version 7 this is provided by the
  method:
  com.ibm.websphere.servlet.container.WebContainer.addGlobalListen
  er(String className)
  However this method is not available in Version 6.1.
  

Problem conclusion

• The WebContainer has been updated to provide a new public
  method:
  com.ibm.websphere.servlet.container.WebContainer.addGlobalListen
  er(String className)
  The specified class must be on the classpath of all web
  applications requiring the listener. For example,
  in the /lib directory at the root of the application server.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 6.1.0.31.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
