Problem with struts in fedora 4

[Ragav Seth]

Hi all,

Iam using struts 1.1 on Fedora 4 linux with tomcat 5.5.7.The tomcat comes bundled with netbeans IDE.


I developed a sample application in windows and successfully deployed it in tomcat 5.0. I used the same sample application in the Linux environment.

The tomcat 5.5.7 server throws the error trace given below.

Is the problem due to calsspath issues in linux as the same application is working in windows perfectly fine.I have copied the struts.jar file in the classpath too.

sorry for the long post.Can anyone help me on this please??

Thanks
Ragav

Put struts.jar into /WEB-INF/lib directory.
