I've been using Struts with Tomcat and they've been working fine (probably because they're both Jakarta apps).
I tried to get the struts-example.war to run under the JBoss/Tomcat all-in-one release (now that I'm ready to add EJB's to my apps) and I got a stack backtrace, class not found (the User class in the example).
Here's a snippet from the log; full log is attached.

Other classes in the tree seem to be seen when it tries to start the application.
I'm using the JBoss 2.2.1 / Tomcat 3.2.1 setup.
I tried deploying to the Tomcal webapps dir and also to the JBoss deploy directory and got the same error.
Do I need to do something extra to have a struts app work under this environment?
Please followup via email only since my internet connection is slow:
