On a specific workstation, a warning is displayed in AWI stating "Not a valid AE import file" when trying to Import a XML file.

Nevertheless, if the Error Popup is closed and the page refreshed, it can be observed that the Object was created.

On other Tomcat / AE Systems / Internet Browsers, the issue does not occur.

No error messages appear on AE / AWI logs.
