My project got hold of JRun 3 SP2 yesterday and noticed that this is a Known Issue (e.g. Unfixed Bug) in the service pack.  I don't have the bug number handy.  There is no news on when an SP3 might be available.  I had complained about this a few weeks ago in the JRun support forum, but there was no response from any Allaire folks.

Subject: Struts installation notes - example's setLocale on JRun

Hi,
 I was writing up the Installation notes for the example and documentation web applications for JRun when I came across the same problem. (I haven't installed the example app since 0.5)
 
allaire.jrun.scripting.DefaultCFE:
Errors reported by compiler:D:/smartserver/peter/serving_eng/Struts-Example/WEB-INF/jsp/jrun__index2ejspa.java:44:1:44:27: Error: No match was found for method "setLocale(java.lang.String)".
 
The deployment is grand, its this setLocale method that stops the example.
I'll check out Allaire and the JRun postings for updates and include any findings.
 
I'm not on struts-dev so I will check there for updates.
 
Peter
 
PS
what's with this funny background?

Hi, all -     I'm using JRun, and the 0.5 classes/tags work great, but I can't even get the later sample application to run:/newstrutsdemo/:

Pretty basic stuff.  However, looking at the messages on this list, it's obvious that people *are* using the nightly builds. Anyone ever seen this error? What execution environments are people using who can run the later distributions (i.e. post 0.5)?Carl TallisDirector Of ProductsSupplyLinks, Inc.Tel: (703) 796-6010Fax: (703) 796-6014email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

Unfortunately, it appears that JRun has an implementation bug.

The servlet container is supposed to do automatic type conversions when the data type of a custom tag property is something other than a String.  In this particular case, the "locale" property accepts a boolean value.

The set of required conversions are in Table 2-4 on page 65 of the JSP 1.1 specification.  Originally, it was not clear (in the spec) that these conversions applied to custom tag attributes, as well as <jsp:setProperty/>, but this was cleared up in an errata to the spec that was published last April, at:

    http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/errata_1_1_a_042800.html

As a workaround on JRun, you can add a String setter for each non-String property, but this is not a good long term solution, because such a tag will not work on any other servlet engine (because the Java reflection code will see two setter methods, and therefore decide that neither of them is appropriate -- so the property will be considered read only).
