  ****************************************************************
  When pre-compiling JSP pages using the IBM Console or the JSP
  batch compiler, if the web module contains the JSP attribute
  useFullPackageNames set to true, the generated_web.xml might not
  contain all the JSP mappings. The problem arises when the same
  web
  module had compiled JSP files in the temp folder and the web
  module was reinstalled or recompiled using the JSP batch
  compiler.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JSP engine was modified to include all the JSP mappings into
  the generated_web.xml regardless of if they are already compiled
  or not.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.5.5.14 and 9.0.0.8.  Please refer to the Recommended
