Looks like you're missing commons-fileupload (and potentially commons-io).

[Ankit Garg]

"p kar" please check your private messages for some administrative matter...

[p karnam]

I have all the commons.... .jar in Struts Hello World's applications WEB-INF/lib directory. Do they need to be copied to some other location also, for Eclipse or Tomcat to locate them or anything else need to configured in Eclipse?

[David Newton]

I don't really believe that you do:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException

There's not much else that can cause that error.

[sung sung]

What David mean was that you missed commons-fileupload-x.x.x.jar in your classpath or WEB-INF/lib

[Kara Efe]

hi p,

if you have extra jar files (such as spring jars) in your classpath or lib folder, it may have caused to read some config files and unable to load them
