Not really. There are various messages on the internet about certain (usually older) versions of Weblogic's classloader having problems with .war and .ear deployments. I've also found notes suggesting someone had this kind of problem but had the code duplicated into two jars so there was an unresolved conflict in which 'one' to load. Also, you never did answer my question: jar or WEB-INF/classes.
Here are various notes about older weblogic classloaders. Have you searched the weblogic site for struts problems for your version of weblogic? http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/06/26/ejb.html This note from Craig could be useful: http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg01788.html Are ALL required .jar files copied into WEB-INF/classes? This is key since everyone forgets this note on the installation page and is a safe generic statement from: http://struts.apache.org/1.2.x/userGuide/installation.html WARNING - If you are going to be hosting multiple Struts based applications on the same servlet container, you will be tempted to place the struts.jar file into the shared repository supported by your container. Be advised that this may cause ClassNotFoundException problems unless all of your application classes are stored in the shared repository. You can test this by putting the struts-examples.war on both your Weblogic and Tomcat containers and making sure both start up. If they are then copy the jar files in WEB-INF/lib over to yours to be safe and if you have any of those jars in a shared weblogic space you might (not sure) consider removing the shared copy and ensuring each webapp that needs it gets its own copy of that jar.

As per you said, I deployed a copy of tomcat's version into weblogic... still the same error. I deployed the folder as a exploded module and NOT as archived one. I am sorry if you think it is a dumb question. But think from my point of view, it is more weird than U think. :(:(:( --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
