I'm trying to run the Struts 1.0 Example application using WebLogic 5.1
(Service Pack 8) on NT. I'm deploying the "Struts-Example" application as a
.war file. I followed all the steps in the ReadMe and Install
documentation. However, upon starting the server and trying access the root
page, I encounter the following run-time exception:
<E> <ServletContext-strutsexample> root cause of ServletException
javax.servlet.ServletException: runtime failure in custom tag 'message'
at jsp_servlet._index._jspService(_index.java, Compiled Code)

I've search the mailing list archives, and it seems that others have had a
similar problem. However, I did not find a documented solution that works
for me. Here's some more details about my particular situation:
1) As I mentioned in an earlier mail msg sent out today, I had to modify the
DocType statement in the web.xml file to use "DTD Web Application 1.2"
instead of "DTD Web Application 2.2". This prevents the following error msg
from occurring when starting the webserver.
"[ExternalEntity] : Could not resolve entity '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.
//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN'. Check your dtd
reference."
2) The struts.jar and *.tld files are located in my the webapps/WEB-INF/lib
folder.
3) As suggested in another mail msg, I added the following jar as the first
statement in my classpath:
c\:jakarta-struts\webapps\wlssp8-struts.jar
4) As stated in the Install documentation, I've manually extracted the
ApplicationResources.properties from
the *.war file and copied it to the _tmp_war folder created by WebLogic.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am totally stuck.
Thanks,
JOHN
