Hello all, Well, I've had it. I just successfully formed an ulcer. I think I've read 10 different ideas to get Struts working under WTE, each of which says "it will work!" but you know what, NONE OF THEM DO! Each time I try something new, I start with a base workspace (stripped down to almost nothing in it). And still they don't work. I even tried that step-by-step procedure that Jon Ridgway posted in the archives, but that didn't work either (which isn't that much different than the solution in the URL below). Now, the weird thing is, I'm not doing anything special. I'm just trying to run the Struts example code (and the IBM Example in the URL below), and each time I get that stupid "Can't remove attributes from request scope problem." The one thing I don't want to do is modify the Struts code to solve this (because I read that this causes other problems...). I've heard a few people "talk" about updating Jasper in the WTE, but no one says "how" to do it! Well, I tried doing this and it didn't work (there are too many dependencies between the WTE jasper implementation and other parts of the environment). I tried doing what was at the IBM Visual Age Developer Domain: http://www7.software.ibm.com/vad.nsf/Data/Document2558?OpenDocument&SubMast=1 Using the alternate method to the "JAXP 1.01 - no w3c" idea (i.e. I created open editions of org.w3c.dom, org.xml.sax and org.xml.sax.helpers in the IBM XML Parser project, and imported Xerces 1.4.0 which updated those packages). I also went with Beta 3 of Struts. (but this didn't work wither). It seems like everything I do with WTE 3.5.3 and Struts is driving me crazy! Earlier, as a sanity check, I tried just using the Apache Test Environment 3.2.1 (I completely removed the WTE and all related projects from my workspace) and used Xalan, Xerces, Struts and so on and I was able to test the struts example, but I couldn't get the example from the IBM link above working 100% with Tomcat (there was something with the ActionForm submit not working.... I was getting a NullPointerException that I didn't have the patience to work out). I guess what I'm asking is, if someone has got Struts working in this configuration: VAJ 3.5.3 WTE 3.5.3 Struts 1.0 beta 3 Xerces 1.4.0 (or something near that) ???? Since I have to deploy to WebSphere App Server AE 3.5.3, there's no point in using Tomcat. I need to get this working smoothly under WTE. If someone comes back and says "just update the jasper engine in WTE" without saying exactly how to do that, or referencing some article that shows EXACTLY, how to do that, this computer is taking a flying leap out my third story window! :-) Sorry for the rant everyone, but this seems so frustrating! Also, It seems difficult to find any real solid information on this... (or that which at first appeared solid isn't as solid as I thought it would be...) And yes I've been searching the archives (see top of this post). I'm off to go buy something for this ulcer... -Tom
