Below is an extract from the link below. I don't really understand it that well but if no guru answers..... You might search the archives further I'm sure I've seen this answered there but didn't find it. It's something to do with which class loader loads the struts classes. It has to be your web-apps class loader not the server class loader.... Sorry this is not as witty as Mr Galbreath's answer & probably just as useless..... =========================================== So, just like a call to a struts class in a web-app will need to be referenced under the WEB-INF (which is why we place the struts.jar file in the WEB-INF/lib directory, you also need to have a root-relative path for any Application Resources. I place mine in the WEB-INF/classes folder as that is automatically referenced by my web container.
