You are correct about the file location... I'm assuming you meant struts-config.xml and not slide-config.xml .. I'm not sure if it matters, but be sure the directory is WEB-INF, not web-inf.
My suggestion to you would be to try and get the struts-example.war running ... Just put the war file in your webapps directory (or unjar it there), then try to run the example. If that works, you can slowly integrate your code into that webapp. Surely you will find the point at which it starts failing.

Ah, I am sorry. I forgot to mention that I had tried different combinations of URLs. I did try http://localhost:8080/ginsu/ginsu.do and I get the same tomcat error as when I enter http://localhost:8080/ginsu . I also realize how vague I was. I'll try to be more specific: I am using Tomcat 4.1.18, and I get a 404 with a description of "The requested resource is not available" when I try these different URLs. I went back to my %CATALINA_HOME%/webapp/ginsu directory and discovered that my struts-config.xml file was there. I think this is incorrect. The web.xml file and the struts-config.xml file both need to reside in my %CATALINA_HOME%/webapps/ginsu/WEB-INF directory, correct? So I moved the slide-config.xml to the web-inf directory and restarted tomcat and received the same results. Any further thought? Thanks again, and I appreciate the fast responses. --- "Craig R.
