You are right and I am confused with another problem, if your action is: action -> actions.MyCoolAction (@ResultPath("/")) result -> /my-cool.ftl
what you get is a bunch of (with different jars) SEVERE: Unable to scan [C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\lib\catalina.jar] for resources java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to make a URL ..... Caused by: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: /catalina-ha.jar ...... At some point I did get NoClassDefFoundError, like Dusty mentioned, but I can't replicate it, so I will this.shutUp() for now :) musachy On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 9:36 AM, Brian Pontarelli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Musachy Barroso wrote: >>> >>> The scanning doesn't have anything to do with the location of the JSP >>> files. >>> It is entirely based on the set of package locators and exclude packages. >>> It >>> uses the classpath scanning mechanism that simply opens all the JAR files >>> and looks at them.
