Thanks for the reply. Turns out, that i was facing the class not found exceptions because somehow, my J2EE container (weblogic) was not picking up struts.jar from the lib directory or the WAR file. my WAR file was inside an EAR file. When I placed the struts.jar and other library jars in the EAR file, all ClassNotFounds disappeared and I got the right exceptions which led me to resolving the issues. I have things working correctly now.
