Hi,

I didnt' test it extensively; The following things work with WebSphere 
6.0 & opencms 6.2:

* edit content in xmlcontent demo
    * save, publish directly
* all widgets tested (widgetdemo)
* add new content (article)
* change (advanced) properties
* publish project
* search (template one, after publishing)
* upload file
* move
* edit control code

which problems do you expect?

bye, Georg
