Did you define it in web.xml?
If you did, could you please post your work?

i cant able to find the error, help me

[Peter Laurinec]

Maybe you dont include all struts .jar files to the tomcat \WEB-INF\lib directory.
Try starting to rename struts-blank directory to your own name application, this should provide solid start for your own application
(all necessary .jar and .tld files are already where they should be)

have fun

[Sundar Murthi]

Hi peter
yes i placed struts.jar and all .tld files now i am getting error as

what can i do

[Peter Laurinec]

Huhuu something is a mess in there.
Well basically as I told you, just put struts-blank.war to you tomcatroot\webapps directory (on unpack it and copy in there yourself)
name it on your own, it HAVE TO be working without any problem.

Thats basic and very easy way for any beginner to start
(Its even adviced to start your application this way)

I hope this helped

[Sundar Murthi]

Peter,

can u able to give me the URI of the .war file. Where can i download this

thanks
