Running the Sample on WebSphere 6.0

A know issue prevents this sample from running properly on WebSphere 6.0. (WebSphere 6.0 does not properly handle the <include-prelude> and <include-code> declarations in web.xml.)

You can workaround the issue by manually copying the taglib declarations in bookStore/template/prelude.jspf and code.jspf to all of the pages in the web application and refresh.
