Struts, JSP 1.1 spec and WLS 5.1 - issue with useBean and getProperty

Question

Hi there, I am attempting to compile a JSP page using Struts tag libraries and Weblogic 5.1 with Service Pack 9.I have defined the bean using <jsp:UseBean id="myBean" ... > and then attempt to access its methods using <jsp:getProperty name="myBean" ... > This fails with a 'myBean is not defined as bean' error. When I replace the <jsp:getProperty ...> with a scriptlet e.g. <%= myBean.getCustomerName()%> it compiles and runs just fine.I have read that the WLS server may be enforcing a strict implementation of JSP spec 1.1 which the Struts tags may not be adhering to (?).Oddly, when I start WLS without invoking the Service Pack, the error disappears and the <jsp:getProperty> works as expected!Any official reason for this strange behaviour? ... I'd like to avoid using scriptlets if possible.Thanks in advance,Rash

Hi.
The following link shows supported versions of apache:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/platforms/index.html#apach
In short, WLS 5.1 does not support Apache 1.3.20. The latest supported version is
1.3.19.

Michael

Does weblogic 5.1 sp8 works ok with apache 1.3.20/SSL?
All the documentation talks mention apache 1.3.12 only...
