Deployment issue was 6.0

[Harley Jackson]

We're having a problem deploying our app on was 6.0. It worked fine when we were running on was 5.1, but for some reason now we cannot get the application up. There isn't anything wrong with the server, other projects have deployed their projects successfully, so I'm wondering what the issue could be.

Here is a stack trace when you hit the page:

SRVE0026E: [Servlet Error]-[JSPG0227E: Exception caught while translating /WEB-INF/jsp/layout/login-layout.jsp: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Take a closer look at the page login-layout.jsp. Do other projects use the same login-layout.jsp or similar page?

[Harley Jackson]

Other projects use a similar page, although not exactly. This page loads fine on websphere 5.1 as well as tomcat4 and tomcat5.

[Harley Jackson]

The page isn't doing anything crazy, here's what it looks like:
