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.
