It seems that indeed the filters are not starting properly: The catalina.out log indicates the following:
00:45:40,018 ERROR [/myapp]:3639 - Exception starting filter struts2 java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:620) ... ... 00:45:40,044 ERROR [/myapp]:3639 - Exception starting filter HibernateFilter java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:620) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:124) ... ... is it right to assume that "bad verison number in .class file" means Tomcat 5.5 is unable to run this struts2-hibernate combination? -- Any advice on deciphering the above errors? --I tried to run it locally on tomcat 5.5 using eclipse, but turns out I cannot even assign this project to 5.5 because - according to eclipse: "The server does not support version 2.5 of the J2EE Web module specification." So, as a next step would you recommend I upgrade to Tomcat 6.0 on godaddy, or try to integrate Apache with the existing tomcat 5.5 first to see what happens? Wes, you mentioned below your favorite way of integrating http + tomcat, would you be able to provide a few general steps how to go about doing this?
