Yes, i do have such a jar file. And i extracted its contents and verified that the class exists. I have extracted war's contents and this is what i got in a folder names Hibernate (as expected) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13391208/Screenshot.png
I added the specific jar to server's installation directory and the error doesn't appear anymore, but i change i get a lot more strange, struts-specific errors like WARNING: Error setting expression 'user.firstname' with value '[Ljava.lang.String;@155035a' ognl.OgnlException: firstname [java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch] at ognl.ObjectPropertyAccessor.setPossibleProperty(ObjectPropertyAccessor.java:103) at ognl.ObjectPropertyAccessor.setProperty(ObjectPropertyAccessor.java:162) at com.opensymphony.xwork2.ognl.accessor.ObjectAccessor.setProperty(ObjectAccessor.java:27) but Struts worked before perfectly and i haven't made any changes to it since. Anyhow, i do not wish to keep those hibernate libs in the server's lib dir. So i'm not going to keep them forever. I'd appreciate a more elegant solution for the error, if possible.

Do you have such jar in your war file? Can you reply with a list of the jar files in your war file? Chris
