OK, I searched the entire system for struts JAR files. The only
difference I found betw. this project and the one that works is that
WEB-INF/lib contained struts-legacy.jar. So, I moved that out, tried
again, same problem. I checked the struts.jar and struts-el.jar files
for an instance of PropertyMessageResourcesFactory and found that
struts.jar did in fact contain this.
I'm at a loss. The class is there, the JAR files in WEB-INF/lib are
included in the jspc.classpath for the jasper taskdef. And I keep coming
back to the fact that this works against the tomcat4 libs and not
against the tomcat5 libs! Here's my taskdef:
<taskdef classname="org.apache.jasper.JspC"
name="jasper2">
<classpath id="jspc.classpath">
<fileset
dir="${tomcat.home}/common/lib">
<include name="*jasper*.jar"/>
<include name="*jsp*.jar"/>
<include name="*servlet*.jar"/>
<include
name="*commons-el*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${webroot}/WEB-INF/lib">
<include name="*.jar"/>
</fileset>
<pathelement path="${build.dir}"/>
<pathelement
location="${env.JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
In the fileset for /common/lib, I was including *.jar, but I thought
that something in there may be conflicting, so I enumerated just the
ones I figured it needed. You can see, "*.jar" from WEB-INF/lib is
included in the CLASSPATH. As mentioned previously, the JDK is IBM's,
1.4.2 - so JAVA_HOME is /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-ibm.
Help?!

It could be conflicting versions of struts.
