Hi,
I downloaded jakarta-struts-1.0.zip file and extracted the files in
c:\jakarta-struts-1.0. But I think lib/commons-*.jar file is missing in my
installation? Are those files important or can I do without them?
The installation process still says I should copy the jars in WEB-INF
directory. Where should I create this WEB-INF directory? (for reference: I
am using weblogic5.1)
Thanks and Regards,
Nitu.
