Error while configuring weblogic8.1 with struts1.1

[Ranjith Koppu]

Hi,
I am trying my first struts application using weblogic8.1 server.I used Weblogic workshop and the application worked fine.But now I tried to use Eclipse3.2 as the IDE and weblogic8.1 as the server.
First it threw warnings regarding the struts*.tld files displaying
"java.sun.com"is not reachable .The same was the case with "www.bea.com".
I resolved these warning s but getting the tld files and placed it in the WEB-INF directory of my application.I added all the required jars struts.jar,commons-beanutils.jar...as external jars to the application.But when I start the server I get an exception
<Servlet: "action" failed to preload on startup in Web application: "StrutsProject".
javax.servlet.ServletException: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory
at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.createServlet(ServletStubImpl.java:990)...
and after that when I access the page using the url
http://localhost:7001/StrutsProject/login.do (I mapped "/login" in struts-config.xml) then I get an exception
<Error while using app descriptor files
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\bea\weblogic81\samples\domains\workshop\cgServer\stage\_appsdir_StrutsProject_war missing application.xml and/or weblogic-application.xml descriptors and

on the webpage itself..
