I was just lazy and stopped on the first combination that worked :-) Could you try one thing for me? Try sticking the JAXP/1.1 JAR files into $ANT_HOME/lib and take them off your classpath. That is *supposed* to work. If it works for most people, I'll update the instructions to suggest that instead. > -- Levi > Craig > > - Original Message - > From: "Craig R.

RE: newbie - requesting example of working build.xml, build.properties files
I haven't taken time to account for the variation, but walking through this process on a fresh RedHat 7.1 installation required an additional step. Basically, to prevent ant from failing on some jar sealing Security exception that I don't remember the details of, I had to remove $ANT_HOME/lib/parser.jar & $ANT_HOME/lib/jaxp.jar. (I think ant 1.3 carries jaxp 1.0 with it, and the presence of Jaxp 1.1 caused the fit) -- Levi > -Original Message- > From: Craig R.

Re: newbie - requesting example of working build.xml, build.properties files
I had some trouble, mainly with security exception. The following worked fine
though:
build.properties:
# -
# build.properties.sample
#
# This is an example "build.properties" file, used to customize building Struts
# for your local environment. Make any changes you need, and rename this file
# to "build.properties" in the same directory that contains the Struts
# "build.xml" file.
