Error description
Abstract: ... It was not possible to follow the steps of the RAD 8.5.1 Info center item:- Creating Struts enabled Web projects which refers to creating a Dynamic Web Project, which is not available by default. Error Description: The steps of the RAD 8.5.1 Info center item: - Creating Struts enabled Web projects http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/radhelp/v8r5/index.jsp? topic=%2Fcom.ibm.etools.struts.doc%2Ftopics%2Ftwebprojectstruts. html , refer to creating a Dynamic Web Project, which is not available by default For example step1 shows: '.. 1. In the Enterprise Explorer view, right-click and select New > Other > Dynamic Web Project .... ..' Similarly, the help item: - Creating a dynamic Web project ( http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/radhelp/v8r5/index.jsp? topic=%2Forg.eclipse.wst.webtools.doc.user%2Ftopics%2Ftwcreprj.h tml ) , refers to a 'Dynamic Web Project' instead of a 'Web Project' wizard. There is no mention or discusion of how to use the 'Web Project' wizard. References to the 'Dynamic Web Project's should be replaced with the new 'Web Project' wizard everywhere. There is also a similar closely related issue: - Creating JavaServer Pages (JSP) files ( http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/radhelp/v8r5/index.jsp? topic=%2Forg.eclipse.wst.webtools.doc.user%2Ftopics%2Ftjcrejsp.h tml ) , refers to New > JSP. It should be New > Web Page. There is no discussion of the Web Page wizard Workaround: Use the default 'Web Project' wizard which is new as of RAD v8.5. Alternatively under File > New > Other there is a checkbox: [ ] Show All Wizards, and the previous Dynamic Web Project wizard will be available under the Web folder.
Local fix
