The global_params.js file is not required to be in physical existence. 
When a request for this particular file is received, the 
AdminUIServletFilter will inject the contents of this file. However, in 
the case of WebSphere, it check for the physical exitence of the file 
first, before handing down the control to the filter. Since the 
global_params.js file is not in the file system, WebSphere throws a 
FileNotFoundException. IMHO, this is a WebSphere bug. However, to make 
WebSphere happy, I'm including an empty global_params.js file in the 
Admin UI framework.

I'll look into this.
