  * USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Full       *
  *                  Profile versions 7.0, 8.0, and 8.5.5 users  *
  *                  of JavaServer Pages (JSP) Batch Compiler.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The JSP Batch Compiler incorrectly      *
  *                      parses a response file (declared        *
  *                      using the -response.file attribute)     *
  *                      when the response file contains non     *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  A response file declared using the JSP Batch Compiler
  attribute -response.file is parsed incorrectly when it
  contains non ISO 8859-1 characters. An example response file
  that produces the issue is the following (which uses the UTF-8
  character encoding):
  -war.path=C:/ ª ÂÔÇ  ¿ »ÔÇó/test.war
  -createDebugClassfiles=true
  -keepgenerated=true
  In the previous example, the JSP Batch Compiler will fail to
  locate the corresponding WAR file because it will not parse
  the file location correctly.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JSP Batch Compiler was modified to correctly parse the
  response file.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.7.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
