I have exactly the same problem. Normally, I run all my Struts 1.02 project in eclipse by adding it to the Tomcat's classpath. Since 1.1rc1 release, I try to convert one of our app from 1.02 to 1.1 and I found out that I need to include the digester jar file in my project in order to compile without an error. But once I included that. I have similar error.
If I remove my project from Tomcat's classpath(in Sysdeo). I can start my tomcat in eclipse without any problem. However, I can't invoke any application and I imagine I can't debug in eclipse. My objective is to use struts1.1 and debug within eclipse. Am I missing something here? -----Original Message----- From: Watson, Jake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 11 June 2003 4:12 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Running Struts in Eclipse w/ Sysdeo Plugin: Digester Error on Startup Thank you David! Turns out that the plugin had added the project to Tomcat's classpath, which was the cause of the foobar ... Everything is working fine again. Sometimes the solutions are in plain view ... -----Original Message----- From: David Graham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 6:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Running Struts in Eclipse w/ Sysdeo Plugin: Digester Error on Startup I'm using the same setup as you with no problems. Install Tomcat again and don't touch any of its directories. In the Sysdeo Tomcat plugin setup, don't put any of your projects on Tomcat's classpath.
