Hi, I posted this issue to the struts-user list 3 times, but noone replied to me and frankly I'm beginning to be a little worried. In few words we have an application which was running fine until struts rc1 but when we switched to Struts 1.1 the following exceptions is thrown:
<!-- BEGIN OF EXCEPTION --> javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instantiating servlet class org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet at

Now, I had a look at the commons-logging file and actually there is a similar class called org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JCategoryLog (please note the capital 'J'). What shall I do then?
