I have found definite but subtle differences in the war file and web.xml structure when using iPlanet, websphere, silverstream servers. iPlanet seems to be the most forgiving and doesn't require an web.xml file at all which I really find strange since it's supposed to be J2EE compliant. It disgusts me because I thought J2EE compliant meant you're following the J2EE specification which, includes the web.xml file and it's associated DTD as well as identifying war file structure, etc... I will say this, Tomcat seems to be more specifically compliant than all of them (at least in talking about the web.xml file and war file structure.) If you are having trouble with websphere, I'd go to the websphere documentation and address it that way. Good luck. - John
