The WebSphere development team are now fully aware of the problem
(including the missing break statement from the Tomcat 3.2 version of
PageContextImpl) and are working on an e-fix. I don't know what the
timescale for the e-fix being available is at present, but I'll post here
when it is available.
I agree with Craig's earlier comment that this is not a Struts problem, but
a WebSphere problem (well, to be precise it's a Tomcat 3.1 problem). The
correct fix is for WebSphere to update it's version of PageContextImpl -
and this is now in hand.
HTH.

Please respond
to struts-dev
We are currently pushing IBM to upgrade their jasper
implmentation to the latest. They also use the old
jasper version in websphere 4.0. We are pushing this
through various IBM contacts.
