Notable bugs fixed in this release

We’ve spent some time fixing bugs. The following sections describe just some of the issues resolved in this release. If you’re interested, here’s the full list of bugs fixed in 24.0.0.5.

FeatureUtility custom repository connection issue

In some scenarios, the FeatureUtility connection test to a custom repo (base url) returns a 400 response code and fails to recognize it as a working repository. It’s not good to fail fast because there are cases where users do not have appropriate access to the whole repository, but they do have access to certain artifacts in the repository. In such cases, the response code can be 400, 403, etc.

Incompatibility reported between sipServlet-1.1 and WebSockets

The following ClassCastException exception occurs with sipServlet-1.1 and a WebSocket feature.

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.ibm.wsspi.sip.converge.ConvergedHttpSessionContextImpl incompatible with com.ibm.ws.webcontainer31.session.IHttpSessionContext31 com.ibm.ws.wsoc.WebSocketServletContainerInitialize

FeatureUtility prints warning when user repositories doesn’t have authentication

When users specify Maven repositories without authentication, the featureUtility command prints the following warning in verbose mode:
```
CWWKF1374E: The password is not encrypted. Password must be encrypted using the securityUtility command with the AES cryptography algorithm as the recommended --encoding option.
```
