Struts Example not working!

[Joe Harry]

Guys,

I'm getting the following error when I tried to run my sample Struts application in Eclipse WTP IDE. I'm sure that JAVA_HOME is set properly.

HTTP Status 500 -

I'm sure that my JAVA HOME is set! I'm able to run other applications but not the ones that is based on Struts???

[Joe Harry]

Of course my JAVA_HOME points to JDK. Do you mean in the environment variables?? It does point to JDK. But still I don't know why I'm unable to work with that example?? Please help me in this regard...Just stuck with this for the past 3 days. Both my home system and office system throws the same problem. In both my machines below are my path and classpath settings,

Path : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5_11\bin

Classpath : C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5_11\lib

Where does JAVA_HOME comes to play?? Is there any additional setting that I have to do in Eclipse itself??

[Nick Williamson]

JAVA_HOME should be another environment variable on your computer.

JAVA_HOME
value should be C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5_11

(path from your previous post).
