This document contains prerequisite information for IBM WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries Advanced Edition Version 5.1.2. In addition, it includes any limitations of the product and information not included in the documentation. Make sure to view the Installation Notes as well, for information on installing and uninstalling the product.

Starting with Version 5.1.2, the index.html file has been replaced with index.jsp. Once placed in your project, the index.jsp is not updated by the WebFacing Tool. The changes to the html to add or remove program launch entries are done to a separate file, invocations.jsp, that is included by index.jsp. When a program invocation is added or removed, the invocations.jsp file is regenerated but index.jsp is not changed. If you wish to customize the appearance of your index.jsp file and not have it change when CL commands are added or removed, you can delete the inclusion of the invocations.jsp and copy the parts of invocations.jsp that you need into the index.jsp. Then you can customize index.jsp to suit your needs.
The default way to invoke a CL program in Version 5.1.2 is to use a form. If you have parameters, the form submission correctly handles the submission of them as well. To invoke your converted application from outside of the web application, you can get the proper format of the form using the browser's View source option when the index.jsp page is displayed.
With imported projects that had a customized index.html page, we recommend that you do the customizations to the index.jsp page. The index.html page should still work with the imported project but it is not updated by WebFacing with any changes to CL commands. To use your old index.html page, either point your browser to it directly (http://your-server/your-app/index.html) or update the welcome file list in the web application's web.xml file.
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/IWCLTagLib.tld" prefix="iwcl" %>Do not change the Tag Prefix value from the default value "iwcl".
The Struts tools run-time has stepped up from Version 1.1 Beta 2 in Version 5 to Version 1.1. In IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer Version 5 (General Availability) when you create a Web project, you have the option to add Struts support to your project. You can choose either Struts 1.0.2 or Struts 1.1 Beta 2. In IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer Version 5.1.x, the latter choice is replaced by Struts 1.1. If you created Struts 1.1 Beta 2 Web projects in IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer Version 5, you can convert it to Struts 1.1, but this is not required as Struts 1.1 Beta 2 is still supported.
If you do have Struts 1.1 Beta 2 Web projects that you wish to convert to Struts 1.1, you will need to do the following:
If you create a Services bean and use the Run-time Configuration wizard to define your configuration settings, the option Prompt for user ID and password is not supported. If you select this option, the preference is saved in the web.xml file but is ignored by the Web Services wizard at run time. Therefore, you need to fill in the authentication information in the Run-time Configuration wizard.
In addition, the Single signon option is not currently supported for Services beans.
