My great-grandparents emigrated just before the turn of the century. I
am told I used to be able so speak some Dutch that my great-grandmother
taught me when I was young but it did not stick.

I have the struts.jar file in the WEB-INF/lib directory. I even
downloaded the Struts source so I could trace the problem to the exact
statement.
The following is from the ActionServlet.processActionCreate:
// Go ahead and create the new Action instance
// ASSERT: This will never ever happen more than once
// for a particular action class name
try {
if (debug >= 1) {
log(" Creating new Action instance");
}
ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
System.out.println("ActionServlet.processActionCreate, our loader
looks like this: [" + loader + "]");
Class clazz = Class.forName(actionClass, true, loader);
actionInstance = (Action) clazz.newInstance();
actionInstance.setServlet(this);
actions.put(actionClass, actionInstance);
} catch (Throwable t) {
System.out.println("ActionServlet.processActionCreate, Throwable
caught: [" + t.toString() + "]");
log("Error creating Action instance for path '" +
mapping.getPath() + "', class name '" +
actionClass + "'", t);
return (null);
}
The output from this section looks like this:
ActionServlet.processActionCreate, our loader looks like this:
[[ThreadContextLoader, current context: [ClassLoader:
[[/opt/prod/application-deployments/subrotrack/subrotrack/subrotrack-web/WEB-INF/lib/httpunit.jar],

ActionServlet.processActionCreate, Throwable caught:
[java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/struts/action/Action]
What is really weird is that it displays an ActionForm before this process is
executed. So it can find org/apache/struts/action/ActionForm
but not Action.
Thoughts?
