Hello, Lukas: Here's a simple script that can be helpful in these situations: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ for jar in `ls *jar` do echo "checking $jar..." jar tvf $jar | grep "org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResourcesFactory" done +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When I checked WEB-INF\lib under a struts-based web application on my system, it produced the following output: ################################################# checking commons-beanutils.jar... checking commons-collections.jar... checking commons-digester.jar... checking commons-fileupload.jar... checking commons-lang.jar... checking commons-logging.jar... checking commons-validator.jar... checking jakarta-oro.jar... checking struts.jar... 749 Sun Jun 29 21:46:38 PDT 2003 org/apache/struts/util/PropertyMessageResourcesFactory.class ##################################################### Perhaps you are missing struts.jar?
btw: if you are on Windows, you can download either Cygwin or uwin (if you prefer ksh).... Cordially, Oswald Lukas Latz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi List! I'm trying to get started with struts (1.1) step by step. I had a working frameset made from *.JSPs in Tomcat 3.23 (The JSPs don't actually do anything at this stage, they're like static html). Then I inserted the tag in one of the JSPs, together with the At first, my web.xml only had the /tags/struts-bean /WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld /tags/struts-html /WEB-INF/struts-html.tld /tags/struts-logic /WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld When that didn't work, I figured the actionServlet must probably be required and added action org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet config /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml 1 action /do/* The struts-config.xml is where it should be, but pretty empty, like this: "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_0.dtd";> The Struts 1.1 libs , taglibs, and dtds are all where they should be, AFAIK . I figured, as at this stage I'm only using STRUTS in the one tag above, and not actually invoking the ActionServlet, the app should work without setting up any ActionForwards and so on. Is that correct?
