need help with struts installation

[Chuck Carroll]

Hi,    I am a new user of the struts package and am using Tomcat 3.2.3 on Windows 2000 Professional with service pack 1.  I have tried to follow the directions on the installation of Tomcat, as well as that for struts.  “Normal” servlets and JSPs work just fine, so I think Tomcat is okay.  The problem is with the struts-example from Jakarta.  Before I install the struts package, I can start Tomcat with no errors.  After I install the struts package and start Tomcat, I get the message:  Call org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.addServletMapping(action/java.lang.String,*.do/java.lang.String) New org.apache.struts.webapp.example.User Begin event threw exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.struts.webapp.example.User             at … When doing …/struts-documentation, everything seems to be okay. When doing …/struts-example, I get the message: Error: 500 Location: /struts-example/index.jsp Internal Servlet Error: javax.servlet.ServletException: Missing message for key index.title         at …  However, …/struts-exercise-taglib works for the BEAN Tags and LOGIC Tags but fails on the HTML Tags with the message:  Error: 500 Location: /struts-exercise-taglib/index.jsp Internal Servlet Error: javax.servlet.ServletException: Exception creating bean of class org.apache.struts.webapp.exercise.TestBean: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.struts.webapp.exercise.TestBean I am obviously doing something wrong, but can’t figure out what it is.  Any help would be very much appreciated.  Thank you.
