Error description

• A .jsp writes out the name and the version of the servlet
  container on which this jsp is running.  The respective line of
  code is:
  <td height="20">
  <%=this.getServletConfig().getServletContext().getServerInfo()%>
  </td>
  
  getServerInfo() returns the wrong version:
  "IBM WebSphere Application Server/8.0"
