JForum in Websphere 6 express installation problem.

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi there,
Has any one installed JForum successfully in WAS 6 Express?
I created JForum.war by

 jar cvf jforum.war . 

inside of the extracted JForum-2.1.6.
When I tried to deploy it into websphere, it saids the war file is corrupt and WEB-INF/web.xml is invalid.

I tried to deploy the same war file into tomcat 5.5.9 and it works,and I installed the forum by following the wizard ...

But I need to run jforum in websphere,can any one help me?
Thanks!
Holy

Aftet checking the web.xml in WEB-INF, I found the reason.
in the doc type section

<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_4.dtd">

which should be

<!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

,
the war file deployed successfully,but I get another problem during the installation phase.

in the Step 2 - Verify Configuration page, I clicked "begin install"
and it gives the error:

Expression dateTimeFormat is undefined on line 2, column 29 in default/header.htm. The problematic instruction: ---------- ==> setting datetime_format set to "dateTimeFormat" [on line 2, column 1 in default/header.htm] [on line 2, column 1 in default/header.htm] in include "header.htm" [on line 1, column 1 in default/message.htm] in include "${templateName}/message.htm" [on line 5, column 1 in exception.html] ---------- Java backtrace for programmers: ---------- freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException: Expression dateTimeFormat is undefined on line 2, column 29 in default/header.htm. at freemarker.core.TemplateObject.assertNonNull(TemplateObject.java:124) at freemarker.core.Expression.getStringValue(Expression.java:118) at freemarker.core.Expression.getStringValue(Expression.java:93) at freemarker.core.PropertySetting.accept(PropertySetting.java:110) at freemarker.core.Environment.visit(Environment.java:196) at freemarker.core.MixedContent.accept(MixedContent.java:92) at freemarker.core.Environment.visit(Environment.java:196) at freemarker.core.Environment.include(Environment.java:1375) at freemarker.core.Include.accept(Include.java:155) at freemarker.core.Environment.visit(Environment.java:196) at freemarker.core.MixedContent.accept(MixedContent.java:92) at freemarker.core.Environment.visit(Environment.java:196) at freemarker.core.Environment.include(Environment.java:1375) at freemarker.core.Include.accept(Include.java:155) at freemarker.core.Environment.visit(Environment.java:196) at freemarker.core.MixedContent.accept(MixedContent.java:92) at freemarker.core.Environment.visit(Environment.java:196) at freemarker.core.Environment.process(Environment.java:176) at freemarker.template.Template.process(Template.java:231) at net.jforum.exceptions.ExceptionWriter.handleExceptionData(ExceptionWriter.java:108) at net.jforum.InstallServlet.service(InstallServlet.java:143) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:1212) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:1173) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.filter.WebAppFilterChain.doFilter(WebAppFilterChain.java:92) at net.jforum.util.legacy.clickstream.ClickstreamFilter.doFilter(ClickstreamFilter.java:59) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.filter.FilterInstanceWrapper.doFilter(FilterInstanceWrapper.java:142) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.filter.WebAppFilterChain.doFilter(WebAppFilterChain.java:77) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.ServletWrapper.handleRequest(ServletWrapper.java:626) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.servlet.CacheServletWrapper.handleRequest(CacheServletWrapper.java:80) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.WebContainer.handleRequest(WebContainer.java:1657) at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.channel.WCChannelLink.ready(WCChannelLink.java:77) at com.ibm.ws.http.channel.inbound.impl.HttpInboundLink.handleDiscrimination(HttpInboundLink.java:421) at com.ibm.ws.http.channel.inbound.impl.HttpInboundLink.handleNewInformation(HttpInboundLink.java:367) at com.ibm.ws.http.channel.inbound.impl.HttpInboundLink.ready(HttpInboundLink.java:276) at com.ibm.ws.tcp.channel.impl.NewConnectionInitialReadCallback.sendToDiscriminaters(NewConnectionInitialReadCallback.java:201) at com.ibm.ws.tcp.channel.impl.NewConnectionInitialReadCallback.complete(NewConnectionInitialReadCallback.java:103) at com.ibm.ws.tcp.channel.impl.WorkQueueManager.requestComplete(WorkQueueManager.java:548) at com.ibm.ws.tcp.channel.impl.WorkQueueManager.attemptIO(WorkQueueManager.java:601) at com.ibm.ws.tcp.channel.impl.WorkQueueManager.workerRun(WorkQueueManager.java:934) at com.ibm.ws.tcp.channel.impl.WorkQueueManager$Worker.run(WorkQueueManager.java:1021) at com.ibm.ws.util.ThreadPool$Worker.run(ThreadPool.java(Compiled Code))

Finally I installed JForum by manual installation, and it works fine!
The intallation wizard have some problems on WAS 6.
Hope JForum developers can fix it later.
