Using Tree2 with WebSphere 5.1

[CONNER, BRENDAN \(SBCSI\)]

Has anyone gotten Tree2 to work with WebSphere 5.1?  I realize that
WebSphere is only JSF 1.0 compatible, but I didn't see anything in the
code that required JSF 1.1.  However, when trying to run the example, I
got an Error 500: Assertion Failed at the following location in
HtmlTreeRenderer:

    private void encodeRecursive(FacesContext context, UIComponent
component) throws IOException
    {
        /[EMAIL PROTECTED] consider moving this common functionality to a base
class or utility class */
        if (!component.isRendered()) return;

        component.encodeBegin(context);
