I am using Struts 1.0.2 with Tomcat 4.1.12 running on IIS 4.0 web server. I have a header.jsp and footer.jsp pages which gets a header and footer, from another machine using a URLConnection, that I want to show on all of my pages in my application. In my application jsp pages, I am using the <template:put...> tag, where the content is the path for the header or footer. This used to work fine with Struts, and Tomcat 3.0.2 running on IIS 4.0, but I am getting an error with Tomcat 4.1.12. The header and footer do not show up - I get a null returned, rather than the content from the URLConnection.
I get an exception that says: Illegal character(s) in message header value: <titl If I try to call header.jsp or footer.jsp directly in my browser, then I see them fine - it is only when I try to use the Struts tag to insert them that I am getting this problem. I have traced it down to method call to an object of type URLConnection: urlConn.setRequestProperty( header, value ); This is where the exception is thrown, but I can't figure out why it is happening only with Struts with Tomcat 4.1.12. Thanks for any help you can give me. Sushrut -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
