PM10681: TIMEOUT.RESUME.SESSION DOES NOT CORRECTLY HANDLE NAVIGATION REQU ESTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If timeout.resume.session=true is set, the session resume
  component does not correctly handle the requested navigation
  state from the current request.
  Failing scenario:
  - Set timeout.resume.session=true
  - Set persistent.session.level=2, persistent.session.option=0
  - Login to Portal
  - Navigate to Administration -> Enable Tracing
  - Wait until session timeout occurs
  - click on "Manage Pages"
  - Portal incorrectly renders either the Enable Tracing or the
  portal default page (Getting started)
  
  correct behavior would be that the request to navigate to
  "Manage Pages" is executed and the session is resumed
  transparently in portal.
  

Local fix

• Setting persistent.session.level=0 will not cause this failure
  to happen.
