Apparently once more... However, the point isn't exactly relevant since these libraries came with Tomcat 4, not with struts. Also, the kickstart makes no mention of any libraries other than struts.jar. Perhaps this should be updated for struts 1.1 to save on frustration and redundant questions.
With that said, moving the commons libs from server/lib to WEB-INF/lib fixes the problem.
