WLS, WLP 8.1 sp5 : XHTML compliance

Question

Hi,
I'm working on a portal application, coded with Workshop and Portal Frameworks.
A migration of presentation layer is needed.
That implies a full XHTML 1.0 strict compliance.
It looks that generated code by BEA tags is not compliant at all :
- URLS are bad encoded : & characters should be ampersand encoded : &
- netui tags for forms generate old HTML code : no trailing slashes : <input type="text">, imageAnchor generate img src="">
Which method would you use or have you used to solve this problem ?
Tags overriding (lot of work) ?
Use other tags (implies to recode pageflows) ?
Thanks for your answers.

Answer 1

I found a number of articles/posts/etc. that talk about an axis/weblogic problem when PUBLISHING axis web services from weblogic. Most of these were centered around a conflict between some of the javax. classes that are within both the Axis saaj.jar and some native jar that comes with weblogic.
The fix is to get the saaj.jar classes to be used. Some people refer to a preference you can set in weblogic.xml that should force the use of "local" classes within an application WEB-INF directory, Other say this won't work and that you have to explicitly put it first in weblogic's classpath (which can have unintended consequences as everything would now be using the classes that are in saaj.jar).
Andyway, as ana exercise, I moved saaj.jar to WL_HOME/portal/lib and then added it to the weblogic classpath and it fixed the problem.
