ClassNotFoundException for LabelValueBean

[Sam Egbert]

I am trying to run the MailReader sample application. I have struts.jar and all the other common jars in the WEB-INF/lib directory.

I get the following exception when I try to run MailReader:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only thing I can think of is that you may want to check to see if you have the latest version of struts.jar. I'm not sure if this class was included in the early versions or not.

I am making some progress by cleaning up some duplicate jars I have floating around my classpath. I will post my findings after a little more experimentation.

The sample app had all the following jar files in the war under WEB-INF/lib.

commons-beanutils.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-digester.jar
commons-fileupload.jar
commons-logging.jar
commons-validator.jar
jakarta-oro.jar
struts.jar

There were duplicates in my app server directory (C:\Sun\AppServer\lib). I removed duplicates. Then I moved the jar files to and from the sample app and the app server trying different combinations. The only configuration that works is when I remove all of these jar files from WEB-INF/lib in the war and put them in C:\Sun\AppServer\lib.

I don't know if this is the best configuration, but it is working for now.

Thanks,
Sam
