For those that may be interested:

As you may recall I was attempting to install the
struts-example webapp on my existing tomcat 3.2.2
deployment (yes, its 3.2.2 rather than 3.2.3) and was
getting class not found errors (for classes that are in
struts.jar).  

How I resolved it: 

Migrated to tomcat 4.0 + jdk 1.4, struts example worked
without a hitch.

The hell I went throught before I decided to got to tomcat
4: 
Mystified after days of thrashing, I happened to try
renaming the WEB-INF directory to web-inf and all my
startup problems went away (though I had a host of new
problems due to hard-coded paths that went through
WEB-INF).

For some reason, tomcat 3.2.2 on linux can't find the
struts-example required jar files unless they are in a
directory named "web-inf/lib" rather than "WEB-INF/lib". 
This is when I decided it was time to move to tomcat 4.

Thanks.
