Hi,

I am encountering a problem java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is
not an instance of declaring class  . It appears that the digester has
problems parsing ANY action that is in the struts-config.xml.

I had this problem before, when I first deployed the struts-example.war.
At the time, I had deployed it on Tomcat 1.1.17.
I eliminated my problem by going back a version of Tomcat to ver. 1.0.6.  I
don't know why that would be different, but although I was curious, I
didn't care too much as I was keen to get started developing using Struts.
However, I am now finding the same problem with my own application, which
was previously working fine.  As a test, I redeployed the
struts-example.war and the problem has again manifested itself.

It has stopped my  work progress and is frustrating me no end.
Surely, some of you have encountered this before ?

I have included below, the stacttrace of the struts-example , but my own
application has the same problem.

I hope someone can shed some light on this,
Brian
