I saw it coming and I felt it bigtime. I sat before my computer for long hours after a long time to solve a freaking problem. The problem statement is very simple. Install eclipse, use its update feature to download Websphere Community edition plugin and run your fugging JSP page. There, sweet and short. Sounds easy, but it turned out to be a pain in the ass.

Like Elmer Fudd of Looney tunes, “I twied and I twied again and again”… Only to be let down by the machine in college. I got fired up when I found that Java 1.6 isn’t good enough for the WASCE and downgraded it to Java 1.5. Lo and Behold! IBM WASCE installed without a hitch and I was able to execute the JSP page very well. The only thing left to be done is adding JSP code.

It all narrows down to one sentence. Man conquers machine yet again. Hell yeah!
