[04/Mar/2003 17:11:34:8] error: Exception: SERVLET-execution_failed: Error in
executing servlet JspRedirector: javax.servlet.ServletException

This happens on the iPlanet 6.5 sp3 Application server running on the solaris
platform. The web server is the iPlanet 6.0 web server running on a separate
solaris server using a web connector.

What is strange is that after running the test about 4 times in a row it will
work, but the application will then be messed up and the server needs to be
bounced. Once this is done, the app works, but the test fails until the forth
time.

What I mean by the application is messed up is that the struts action is being
lost on the submit buttons. For example:
http://dmws01s/NASApp/pubdocaccess/search.do?searchText=joe&submit=Search
becomes
http://dmws01s/NASApp/pubdocaccess/?searchText=joe&submit=Search

The solaris box is our dev integration box and the code seems to work fine on
my local dev box, which is Win XP running both iAS 6.5 sp3 and the iWS 6.0
servers locally.

Oh yeah, we are using J2EE 1.2.1, servlet 2.2, jdk 1.3, struts 1.0, cactus
1.4.1, and junit 3.7.

Please let me know if you need any additional information to help reproduce
this bug.
