Wls 8.1 sp2: weblogic.jspc complains about struts-html tags

Question

          Hi,
          I am trying to compile jsps with weblogic.jspc, which use struts' html tags. However,
          the compilation fails with the following message:
          [java] Translation of /views/viewPageBody.jsp failed: (line 3): Error in using
          tag library uri='/tags/struts-html' prefix='html': The Tag class 'org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BaseTag'
          has no setter method corresponding to TLD declared attribute 'server', (JSP 1.1
          spec, 5.4.1)
          I opened the BaseTag class from the struts jar and found the setter exists for
          the attribute 'server' of html tld. So does the property 'server'. The property
          'server' is a string and the parameter in the setter is a string. I read about
          the jspc errors in wls 8.1 about the setter parameter being of different type
          than the property. However, that is not the case here. I tried using both Sun's
          and BEA's jdk. None of them help. Btw, there is another attribute mentioned in
          the html tld, which is 'target'. The compiler doesn't complain yet about this.:(
          Also, I happened to compile other apps which have struts logic tags.
          My environment:
          OS: Win2k sp3
          WLS: 8.1 sp2
          JDK: Sun's 1.4.2 sp4 / Bea's 1.4.1 sp5 (tried both)
          Ant: 1.5.3 (I had an issue earlier with ant until I found that Bea officially
          without any mention supports only ant 1.5.3.)
          I would appreciate any help in this regard.
          Thanks,
          Abbas
          

Answer 1

          What version of Struts are you trying to use?
          Are you certain you're not encountering a different instance of that class in
          an unexpected location in your classpath?
