so i think i just solved my problem. i was able to deploy a sample struts app from the book i am reading. i noticed that it used struts_1_0_2.jar instead of the many struts .jar files i was using. so i deleted them from my web-inf/lib folder and replace them with the struts_1_0_2 jar. my app now loads fine with no actionservlet init failure. i'm not sure my action is executing correctly, but at least the actionservlet inits.
i thought that i had all the latest and greatest from the struts 1.3.8 download. what am i not understanding about the struts jar files? thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to read my emails and think about my problem... -----Original Message----- From: ROWLAND, CLAY, ATTSI Sent: Friday, October 05, 2007 11:08 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: [ActionServlet] /WEB-INF/web.xml was not found i'm not sure.. i'm not intentionally specifying one. i'm assuming that it would be jboss-web_4_0.dtd since i'm using jboss 4.2.1 and am using the servlet 2.4 spec in j2ee 1.4. is it possible that i'm missing elements in the jboss-web.xml file? i was under the impression that it was not necessary and i get the same error whether or not i deploy that file. thx for the help.. -----Original Message----- From: Cesar Arevalo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2007 7:27 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [ActionServlet] /WEB-INF/web.xml was not found Hey, what version of the jboss-web.dtd are you using, see here for the types: http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/ I see that the context-root element is not in the http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web.dtd, it is until http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_3_0.dtd that this element is present.
