Another common mistake is that there seem to be no tests with a real world application server. There are only a few examples provided in webwork-example.war working with BEA WebLogic 8.1.
This is an example for the most common result: Parsing of JSP File '/success.jsp' failed: /success.jsp(3): Error in using tag library uri='webwork' prefix='ww': The Tag class 'com.opensymphony.webwork.views.jsp.URLTag' has no setter method corresponding to TLD declared attribute 'encode', (JSP 1.1 spec, 5.4.1) probably occurred due to an error in /success.jsp line 3: <%@ taglib uri="webwork" prefix="ww" %> Fri Feb 13 14:24:15 CET 2004 Regards, Lars > All, > > Belated congrats on the WW2 release!
