Very nice Dan! Now if we could only do this inside VAJ...
The interesting thing about this entire subject is that less than a week
ago I was explicitly and clearly told by Dave Ings, the VisualAge project
manager at IBM that there was NO WAY to make VAJ 3.5.3 work this way. I
was told that there was no plan to support web.xml files at all. There
seems to be a significant difference between what the programmers have done
and what management knows about :)
Now, one more interesting piece of information. Go to the root of the VAJ
3.5.3 Installation and open the "readme.html" file. There is a section
(1.8) labeled "changing servlet engine mode to Full 2.2. compliance mode".
It says all you have to do is create a property file called
ivj.servlet.properties in the \ide\project_resources\IBM WebSphere Test
Environment\ directory that contains the following line:
com.ibm.websphere.servlet22.compliant = true
This might solve ALL of our problems with the silly XML file formats! I'm
trying it now...

Subject: RE: Struts and VisualAge 3.5.3 with WTE
I'll have to try the latest version of Xerces. I didn't have any luck with
Xerces 1.22. I got things running using JAXP 1.01, but that seems rather
backwards to me. I'm also getting errors during JSP page compiles, but I
don't think that's related to the XML issue.
As for converting from web.xml to name.webapp, there's a file called
webapp.xsl that does the conversion for you. Here's the line I use from my
batch file:
java -cp c:/java/xalan.jar;c:/java/xerces.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process
-IN %1 -xsl "c:/program files/ibm/visualage for
java/ide/project_resources/ibm websphere test
environment/properties/webapp.xsl" -OUT %2
Example usage:
cvtwebxml c:/dev/phone/web/web-inf/web.xml
c:/wte/phone/servlets/phone.webapp
