Hi, i just tried to get the example from "Struts-Framwork" (http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/index.html) work with orion. (it works fine with tomcat and resin) has anyone get this to work? in the example there is an controller-servlet which does something like this in its init() routine (load-on-startup): [...] getServletContext().setAttribute( "org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE" ,application); later in the taglib it throws an exception because an null-value in the doStartTag() routine: [...] MessageResources resources = (MessageResources) pageContext.getAttribute("org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE", PageContext.APPLICATION_SCOPE); if (resources == null) throw new JspException(messages.getMessage("getMessageTag.resources", bundle)); is it possible that the code in the taglib did not get the attribute which was set in the servlet-code? => Orion-BUG? thanks klaus -- Klaus Thiele - Personal & Informatik AG mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "There's got to be more to life than compile-and-go."
