RE : [Geoserver-devel] geoserver in utility

Hi,
thanks a lot for all your support, that's simply great!
Indeed, geoserver works on websphere 5.1 without any problem, I simply deploy the .war.
However I still have a small issue:
when I connect to localhost/geoserver and after login I cannot see any of the menu, I have instead the following message (sorry it is based on WebSphere in french).
[ServletException in:/WEB-INF/pages/actionator.jsp] /WEB-INF/pages/actionator.jsp(34,50) L'attribut .short n'a pas de valeur.'
(translation: the attribute .short has no value)
It is the same for all *tor.jsp pages. Exactly the same problem with Geoserver1.3RC1 or Geoserver 1.2.
Any ideas on this? I search JIRA but could not find any answer.
I have not installed JAI lib so I understand that WMS cannot generate bitmap files but it looks like even in 1.3 (I tried the mapbuilder demo in data/mbdemo/) it does not generate a bitmap image, anything I miss there? Of course I have the GetCapabilities sending back xml file in both WFS and WMS.
Maybe this kind of request should rather go to the user mailing list...sorry for that.

I thought it could be useful for developer also to mention that during the deployment I had this message from WebSphere (although it has nothing to do with the above problem), I am not sure what it means so here are the full code (but it does not seems to be any real issue):
Contenu du fichier was.policy -

Hi, as the greatest part of your questions was already answered, I'll
try to answer the ones that do not:

- Geoserver on IBM WebSphere
Anybody have an experience to run GeoServer within IBM Websphere? I do
not expect any big issue to deploy the war but if anybody has some
experience on this it will be more than welcome.

Yes, GeoServer works perfectly in Webpshere 5.1+ (since 5.1 is the first
version with a 1.4 JDK)

- Geoserver benchmark
On the long term, our several web applications which can integrate geospatial information will be
accessible by 1.500 users, therefore we were wondering if anybody have any benchmark / info about clustering solution and so on...

Not really, but in the not-so-long term, geoserver will have a much more
scalable architecture. We're just thinking on the alternatives beside a
pure EJB approach. Personally, I wouldn't like to go EJB 2, but EJB 3.0
looks promising.

best regards,

Gabriel.
