Actually we have been doing some testing and my inital analysis of the problem was way off base. The only problem was that a value of one of the attributes on the page we were testing was not properly quoted. FooBar! But this also adds to answer I gave Scott as to why we want to use the XML syntax. It avoids these "run time" problems IFF you use the proper tool to edit, or at least validate, the pages. We were in the process of doing some "quick and dirty" proof of concept demonstrating that we can get this all working and used the Eclipse JSP editor to write the page. It does *not* validate the xml, so it is really next to useless for this task except for a bit of syntax color coding. We normally run our stuff through XMLSpy to validate it. Taking short cuts are usually a real bad idea :-(
In any case, for whoever may be interest you *can* mix and match the two styles. So it seems as if the compiler compiles each page independently and does the include of the output.

Yup, already did a quick go through and it doesn't look like more than a day or so to fix it all up.1. stay with Webwork and give up the preference 2. do the extra work to modify all of the templates 3. go back to using StrutsWell I think the extra work of modifying the templates shouldn't be much of a problem. The only thing you really need to change is substitute <%@ taglib uri="webwork" prefix="webwork" %> <%@ include file="controlheader.jsp" %> and the like for whatever the XML-style syntax for the same thing is as well as remove the <%-- --%> style comments. This could largely be done automatically with a simple text substitution in all files.
We will not tackle that now since we have a working solution for the moment. We plan on doing in a month or two and will certainly be happy to donate it back when we do.Please let us know if you are successful with this, and if you are please post these updated templates to the list so we can include them in the official distribution for anyone who wants it.
Thanks for all of thoughts.
Cheerio,
