My instructions were for installing struts 0.5. If you are using Struts
1.0 then I understand there are some complications with the change to using
struts-config.xml instead of action.xml. Specifically struts-config.xml now
uses a dtd and the websphere classloader has problems finding the dtd. I
haven't actually tried struts 1.0 with websphere so I can't tell you definitely
that that is the only problem. I think some other people have worked around this
issue so I would continue to seach through the archives.
On the issue of the convert war tool the reason you don't see the same directory
structure as in the war file is because the convert tool converts to websphere
format which is different. The tool should set up the correct classpaths and
document paths that websphere understands.
FYI WebSphere 4.0 will support wars (ears, ejb-jars etc) natively as it will be
j2ee compliant. Hopefully it will be out in the summer.
