javax.servlet.ServletException: can't remove Attributes from request scope

[Guy Roberts <gu...@objskill.demon.co.uk>]

Gudday all,

I want to deploy my struts application on a friend's apache/tomcat (version 3.2 Tomcat).  Everything works fine on my localhost using Tomcat 4.0, but on his machine the demo application called struts-example throws an exception (see below) when I try to log on.

I know that a similar problem to this has been posted to this list before ("RE: Struts 1.0 on WebSphere 3.5.4??" by Chris Assenza) and I have tried the fix suggested then (to change the doEndTag() method of FormTag.java but to no avail.

Thanks for any ideas,

Guy Roberts, 

Nottingham.
