I just tried the sample application on tomcat 4 and since I couldn't find any reference to problems when searching the web, I thought I'd ask why I get an error that says it can't find the applicationresources under the key "org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE"?? i only copied the .war file into webapps/ and restarted catalina...it's finding the struts stuff because the traceback comes from the doStartTag of the <html:message> tag... it appears to be a classloader issue, but not sure if anyone else has encountered this behavior or has a remedy for this?? thanks!
