Slide 2.1 Init Errors on WebSphere 5.x

["Arun Jain (AJ)" <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

I was able to deploy and start the slide war on WebSphere 5.x. But I get
exception, when I try to access slide through http://localhost:9081/slide

I saw such exceptions in the archived messages but none had a fix.

The exception is :
