Websphere 4.02 Struts Deployment

[Danny Mui <da...@muibros.com>]

Hello people :)

Anybody play with deploying a struts app on Websphere 4ish?  After a day's
worth of battle with the beast, I give up for the night.

*Downloaded new Xalan/Xerces binaries and placed in WEB-INF/lib to get
allow the digester to parse the struts-config.xml file correctly.

*Changed the web.xml version back to 2.2 so that the Application Installer
would stop null pointering <grin>.

*Learned how to regen the plugin file so that no more manual aliases need
be entered.

Thought my trek was complete but apparently not.  I've installed the app in
a different context : /app

I'm having problems with struts forwards:

<logic:redirect forward="summary" />

(forwards to /do/summary/display)

it actually redirects it to : /app/app/do/summary/display

I think Websphere is being too helpful here with the redirects!!  Any
pointers?  Things I'm planning to attempt:

1. Upgrade to 4.0.3...gah, server admining...
2. Patch RequestProcessor to detect double contexts...*sigh* hack..i hate
that...

As usual, everything works on my machine (Tomcat 4.0) :)

Any help appreciated!
