I know very little about IE8 and less about WAS. But, IIRC, WAS is a Java 
Application Server. Perhaps it serves up client Java applets? Is IE8 set up 
with Java enabled?

This information applies to Windows Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Internet

Java is a technology used to create interactive or animated web content, such 
as games or advanced financial applications. Java programs are downloaded 
automatically to your computer when you use them and don't usually require 
special installation. To run Java programs in Internet Explorer, however, you 
must install special Java software. When you install Java, it is enabled by 
default and configured with safety settings at their highest level.
