The following modifications were made to this artifact:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Resolution Description set to new value:
A Web application MUST call MgInitializeWebTier, but if it doesn't the application (or worse the web server) shouldn't crash, and that's the sole purpose of this submission.

The crash was caused in ACE by attempting to get the locale from a configuration that was not initialized properly. The fix is to bypass the lookup of the locale when the configuration has not been initialized. In this case the locale is forced to English.

Because the resource file was not loaded, GetDetails() or GetMessage() cannot retrieve the exception description, but no crash occurs and the user gets a message "Failed to retrieve message for exception..." which allows troubleshooting.
