I've not had ANY problems in struts-1.1 that where websphere specific (mostly they where me not exactly knowing what I was doing). Have you tried to go directly to welcome.do in your browser?
It could be a problem with the logic:redirect tag in you index.jsp (I've personally never used it). -----Original Message----- From: Bender, James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 10:19 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: any known issues with WAS 4.0? Hi, I am new to Struts and installed Struts-example, Struts-blank etc from the stable 1.1 release at jakarta.apache.org/struts. None of these work on my WAS 4.0. I get all sorts of errors and I dug through news groups applying patches that never worked all of yesterday trying to get one of them to work. Then, I installed the struts-stub (struts 1.0) example from the tutorials on the site and that one deployed perfectly. Does Struts 1.1 just not work on WAS 4.0? On struts-blank I get Error 500: through the web -- no error context provided on the line index.jsp::<logic:redirect forward="welcome"/> The activity log reports: IBM WebSphere AEs 4.0.1 a0131.07 #com.ibm.servlet.engine.srt.WebGroup 327cd30d 3072 2kws100900202/Default Server Servlet Error: {0}: {1} %com.ibm.ejs.resources.seriousMessages java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.computeURL(RequestUtils.java:521) at org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.computeURL(RequestUtils.java:436) at org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.computeURL(RequestUtils.java:396) at org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.RedirectTag.doEndTag(RedirectTag.java:294) at index_jsp_4._jspService(index_jsp_4.java:95) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:139) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(JspServlet.ja va:286) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:415) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:544) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.StrictServletInstance.doService(ServletManager .java:827) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.StrictLifecycleServlet._service(StrictLifecycl eServlet.java:159) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.IdleServletState.service(StrictLifecycleServle t.java:286) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.StrictLifecycleServlet.service(StrictLifecycle Servlet.java:106) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.ServletInstance.service(ServletManager.java:47 2) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.ValidServletReferenceState.dispatch(ServletMan ager.java:1012) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.ServletInstanceReference.dispatch(ServletManag er.java:913) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebAppRequestDispatcher.handleWebAppDispatch(W ebAppRequestDispatcher.java:499) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebAppRequestDispatcher.dispatch(WebAppRequest Dispatcher.java:278) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebAppRequestDispatcher.forward(WebAppRequestD ispatcher.java:105) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.SimpleFileServlet.doGet(SimpleFileServlet.java :198) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.StrictServletInstance.doService(ServletManager .java:827) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.StrictLifecycleServlet._service(StrictLifecycl eServlet.java:159) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.IdleServletState.service(StrictLifecycleServle t.java:286) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.StrictLifecycleServlet.service(StrictLifecycle Servlet.java:106) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.ServletInstance.service(ServletManager.java:47 2) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.ValidServletReferenceState.dispatch(ServletMan ager.java:1012) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.ServletInstanceReference.dispatch(ServletManag er.java:913) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebAppRequestDispatcher.handleWebAppDispatch(W ebAppRequestDispatcher.java:499) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebAppRequestDispatcher.dispatch(WebAppRequest Dispatcher.java:278) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.webapp.WebAppRequestDispatcher.forward(WebAppRequestD ispatcher.java:105) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.srt.WebAppInvoker.doForward(WebAppInvoker.java:67) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.srt.WebAppInvoker.handleInvocationHook(WebAppInvoker. java:123) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.invocation.CachedInvocation.handleInvocation(CachedIn vocation.java:67) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.srp.ServletRequestProcessor.dispatchByURI(ServletRequ estProcessor.java:122) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.oselistener.OSEListenerDispatcher.service(OSEListener .java:315) at com.ibm.servlet.engine.http11.HttpConnection.handleRequest(HttpConnection.ja va:60) at com.ibm.ws.http.HttpConnection.readAndHandleRequest(HttpConnection.java:313) at com.ibm.ws.http.HttpConnection.run(HttpConnection.java:242) at com.ibm.ws.util.CachedThread.run(ThreadPool.java:122) Anyone's help would be really appreciated!
