Hi Ajay, Thanks a lot for your interest in helping me out.
I did more or less the same things that you mentioned in your mail. I had not added the <context ... to the server.xml file as I thought that the tomcat will do it itself. This morning after going through your mail, I did add the <context .. to my server.xml file but the problem still persists. I am using the Tomcat3.2.1 with Xerces1.4.3 XML parser. Initially when I was using JAXP, it was giving some wierd errors and then when I moved to Xerces it started giving me this problem. Is there anything that I need to change in the struts-config.xml file of my struts-example? Looking forward for some more helpful suggestions from you. Thanks in advance.
