PM38504: reqweb shows order list after restart servelet

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:
  - Operating System: any windows
  ReqWeb 7.1.1.5 / Windows Server 2008 SP2 x64/ windows 2003
  
  Description of problem:
  Sorting in catalog.txt not respected when adding new project to
  ReqWeb
  
  
  
  
  
  I would expect that the order in the catalog.txt is respected,
  as it used to be.
  
  
  
  This issue can be solved by restarting the ReqWeb servlet.
  (Which is NOT a reasonable workaround on a production server..).
  
  
  Step to reproduce:
  1) Create a new project (Access or Oracle DB)
  
  2) Add this project to the Catalog.txt file used for ReqWeb; put
  it somewhere in the middle of the list (there must be several
  projects to demonstrate this issue). ?? Screen_Catalog.jpg
  
  3) Go on ReqWeb and check on the login page the order of the
  projects.
  The newly added project is at the bottom of the list, though the
  project was listed somewhere in the middle.

  Workaround:
  Restart servelet
