Craig,
I did a find on 'struts.jar' on my 'D drive' and these are all the occurences of
'struts.jar':
D:\jakarta-struts\lib
D:\mqc_struts_05\Web-inf\lib --------------------- This is a saved copy of my
application with struts0.5 version
D:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\msqc\WEB-INF\lib ------------------------ This is the current
version of my app with struts 1.0
D:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\struts-documentation\WEB-INF\lib
D:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\struts-example\WEB-INF\lib
D:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\struts-template\WEB-INF\lib
D:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\struts-test\WEB-INF\lib
D:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\struts-upload\WEB-INF\lib
As I said before
if I DON'T add struts.jar in classpath: struts-example WORKS but my application DOES
NOT WORK.
If I add struts.jar in classpath: struts-example DOES NOT WORK but my application
WORKS.
Is something in my classpath bringing this behavior?
Here are my environment variables if needed:
CLASSPATH:
.;d:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar;d:\jdk1.3\lib\dt.jar;d:\jdbc\classes12.zip;d:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\msqc\Webinf\classes\DbConnectionBroker1.0.11.zip;d:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\msqc\Web-inf\classes
PATH:
D:\orant\bin;d:\jdk1.3\bin;d:\jdbc;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\Program Files\Mts
JAVA_HOME:
d:\jdk1.3
TOMCAT_HOME:
d:\tomcat-3.2.1

Hi,
I have been following the threads on struts.jar issue and this is what I have. I have
deployed an application using struts 1.0 build with tomcat 3.2.1 on windows NT.
Here's the strange situation:
If I don't add struts.jar in my classpath, I can run struts-example but CANNOT run my
own application. I get the error in the attached 'my_application_error.html' file.
<<my_application_error.htm>>
Are you also checking to make sure there is not a copy of struts.jar in your
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory? All JAR files there are automatically added to the
classpath as well.
Now if I add struts.jar in my classpath, I can run my own application but CANNOT run
struts-example now. The error I get is in 'struts_example_error.html' file
<<struts_example_error.htm>>
This error means that there was some other problem in initializing the ActionServlet
instance -- check your other Tomcat log files for details.
The most likely error message is a class not found exception on the User class, which
is *exactly* the reason why you should not put struts.jar on your CLASSPATH.
So what is the right way?
See my following message -- on a new thread to ensure that it is very visible.
