Error description

• Issue of WebSphere Application Server V8.0 Administrative
  console.
  
  The Read/Write timeout checkbox does not work correctly.
  The serverIOTimeout property of server.xml (master
  configuration) does not change correctly, if we change checkbox
  for not-checked. Saved changes are not reflected.
  
  This issue is recreatable and occurs even on WebSphere
  Application Server 8.0.0.2.
  
  Here is recreatable procedure.
  
  1. Login to administrative console
  2. Navigate Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application
  servers >
  server_name, and then, in the Additional Properties section,
  click Web server plug-in properties.
  3. In Read/Write timeout section, default value 900 is
  displayed.
  4. Change checkbox for not-checked.
  5. Save changes to the master repository.
  6. Navigate above step2 again.
  7. Then, we will see that timeout value is 900 (not zero).
