Thanks for the help. Keith yes it is a right royal pain in the Java. I have fired up Tomcat and it works with Tomcat (still wont work with Resin however), so I am continuing development on Tomcat, knowing full well that it is to be deployed with Resin as the web server.
As Dr Smith would say, "Oh the pain". -----Original Message----- From: Keith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 15 February 2002 10:00 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts jar can't help you mate - but full sympathies. I reckon the laws of cause & effect got a bit fuzzy on the server side. This multiple class loaders thing is a real pain in java. I reckon it's a problem in the design of the language. It creates a mighty trap that catches people again & again. We are in the pioneering days of web development so much pain to be endured. When my app broke but the examples work try:- 1 - copy struts-stub to a new name. 2 - restart the server to deploy it. 3 - move my app into this new app. It would work. That way I never really found out what was wrong - but never wasted lots of time learning to be a server guru. good luck. - Keith --- Joe Latty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is driving me insane, first up I had the classic > java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
