After further contemplation I realized that the mailreader application
is in WAR format. I'm guessing that during development, what is under
the ant "build" directory is WAR format. So the example applications
are equivalent to what would be under the "build" directory, plus the
java code. (at least I think this is correct)
So if I want to use the example application as a base for development,
what is the best advice ? To manually create the expected ant
directories and copy the example files to the correct location?
Or is there a blank application already laid out to make ant happy?

I'm trying to get into the struts game, which means I'm simultaneously
trying to come up to speed on at least three Apache projects: tomcat,
ant, and struts. Plus servlets and jsps. I'm sorry if this is a
basic question, but I'm a little flustered.
Ant seems to expect a certain directory structure under the
build.xml. I'm not sure if this it *has* to be this way or if the
underlying directory structure is configurable. As far as I can tell,
ant wants something like:
./build.xml
./build.properties
./src: (all java files go here, under something like
com.mycompany.whatever )
./web:
./web/WEB-INF:
But the example mailreader application looks like this: (some stuff
ommitted)
./WEB-INF:
./WEB-INF/classes:
./WEB-INF/classes/*:
./WEB-INF/entities:
./WEB-INF/lib:
./WEB-INF/src:
./WEB-INF/src/java:
./WEB-INF/src/java/*: all java files are here
So my question is, what am I missing? Surely ant must be able to
compile the default struts applications, which probably means I need a
different build.xml file. However, I haven't found any guidance on
this matter by searching the apache site.
Any help is appreciated!
