Please do not post the same question more than once. It causes confusion and duplication of effort as the community tries to help everyone.

Sounds like it can't find the <web-app> tag in your web.xml file. Posting your web.xml file might let me give a more specific answer.

[saidi Bandi]

the web.xml, which iam using is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.4" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>

</web-app>

my application server is weblogic8.1 with sp4.
