Hi Len, welcome to javaranch.

you can set the classpath as

set CLASSPATH = needed path

You'll need to include the struts jar into the classpath (depending upon the version of struts, the needed jars will vary). I would recommend that you use an IDE (eclipse or netbeans etc) or a build script (ant or maven)...

The jars are in your current directory?
