Perry I had problems until I upgaded to jakarta-struts-1.0-b3.
I put the struts.jar file in WEB-INF/lib as you have stated. I also have all of the servlet classes in WEB-INF/classes, and no reference to these in the orion/lib paths.

We are running into continual class loader issues no matter where we place them. We have tried: - The approved J2EE blueprints location which is WEB-INF/lib. This works fine in Tomcat, however, I get a ClassNotFound exception a Struts class (the Struts ActionHome class). - Orion directed path which is a lib directory at the base of the .ear file. This I tried based on messages from the Orion mailing list and the Elephantwalker support site. My libraries were document in the "orion-application.xml" configuration file in the <library> tag. This causes intermittant class loader issues. The first form which is derived from a Struts ActionForm comes up fine but the next form throws a ClassNotFound exception. In addition, Struts tags (ie. the ErrorTag) is not found when the page that has that tag is accessed. - Placing libraries on the classpath for Orion server startup. Again, problems with ClassNotFound exceptions. I grant you, all of this issues seem to resolve around the Struts framework. Is anyone aware of a problem revolving around Struts and Orion specially dealing with classloader issues? On the Struts site, the only issues it documents have to deal with an old version of Orion (1.0.3) I think. BTW, I have these problems using 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 on Solaris 2.8, Linux RH 7.1, Windows NT 4.0sp6, and Windows 2000. So I know that it is not an OS-specific problem. At this point, I am at a loss... Thoughts, ideas??? -- Perry Hoekstra E-Commerce Architect Talent Software Services [EMAIL PROTECTED]
