Re: Due to regression -- Non-API

As a development platform, what is the chance that web applications had been built to a bug, and IBM simply didn't have a regression test for that bug? Then again, I haven't WebSphere API documentation for over a decade, and I don't remember how good it is. The point being that when API documentation is weak, developers are forced to fidget to figure out how things work, and that's one of the reasons developers sometime code to a bug rather than the actual API.
