We are using Struts 1.1 in a WL 7.0 SP2 application, deployed as a .ear and everything seems to be working fine. The only difference between our app and your app that I can identify so far is that we are deploying our web app inside the .ear as an expanded directory versus as a .war file.
So, for example, our app is: theEar.ear |-- META-INF |-- theEjb.jar |-- theWar |--WEB-INF |--lib |--classes and our application.xml is: <application> <display-name>webapp</display-name> <description>webapp</description> <module> <ejb>webapp.jar</ejb> </module> <module> <web> <web-uri>webapp</web-uri> <context-root>webapp</context-root> </web> </module> It not supposed to make a difference, but perhaps expanding your web app would make a difference?

The <prefer-web-inf-classes> element, if set to true, will cause classes located in the WEB-INF directory of a Web application to be loaded in preference to classes loaded in the application or system classloader. The default value is false. A value specified in the console will take precedence over a value set manually. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 11:00 To: Struts Users Mailing List Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Deploying web app (.ear = .jar + .war) under Weblogic with Struts Hello everyone, this looks pretty like the mail posted by Navneet Saraogi a couple of months ago. I am trying to deploy a .ear application under Bea Weblogic 7.0 using Struts 1.1. What happens (funny) is that if I deploy my webapp.war (containing the web module and Struts library) and webapp.jar (containing ejbs) at the same time, everything works properly and the web application integrates happily with ejbs. But if I merge the two files into a .ear, it deploys correctly, but when I launch the application I get the following error message: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/struts/action/ActionForm since apparently it isn't able to find the path to the library struts.jar, and of course the application does not work. Our directory structure is apparently the correct one, and that is: theEar.ear |-- META-INF |-- theEjb.jar |-- theWar.war inside the .ear I have a META-INF directory with application.xml that looks like this: <application> <display-name>webapp</display-name> <description>webapp</description> <module> <ejb>webapp.jar</ejb> </module> <module> <web> <web-uri>webapp.war</web-uri> <context-root>webapp</context-root> </web> </module> and the file struts.jar is inside the webapp.war file at the path \WEB-INF\lib, while the other developed classes are at the path \WEB-INF\classes. I also tried inserting Class-Path: webapp.jar inside \META-INF\MANIFEST.MF in the webapp.war file, to make it see the ejbs, but it still does not work. Anyone has any idea of what I am missing ?
