This is my first experience with struts (and WS 4.0 for that matter!) and I am not having much luck. I have tried to extract what I could from the Struts / WS 3.5x instructions, but still no luck (and the deploy process seems to be considerably different between these Websphere versions). I can get the basic index.jsp pages to load in the samples, but after I try any form action it seems like it does not know where to post, and just returns a page not found error. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, -Ed DISCLAIMER
