Folks, I have found a solution to this problem, for any users running roller on weblogic 8.1 and you come across this issue, do the following steps if building the roller web app from source code.
1) Remove jaxen-1.1-beta-7.jar from web-inf/lib folder 2) re-install the web app. That's it. This rouge jar prevented the jsp file parsing the rollerRuntimeConfigDefs.xml file correctly on the weblogic server.

Changes you make here apply to the entire site. Note that these are runtime properties only. Please refer to the Roller documentation for information on overriding Roller's startup properties (in the roller.properties file). I am using Roller version 3.1 on weblogic server 8.1 - has anyone any ideas to resolve this issue. I have included the log trace below: Regards Colm DEBUG 2008-09-02 15:53:41,654 RollerRuntimeConfig:getRuntimeConfigDefsAsString - Trying to load runtime config defs file DEBUG 2008-09-02 15:53:41,733 PersistenceSessionFilter:doFilter -
