Re[2]: no struts classes (jar files) found by application

Hello Michael,

MK> BTW, do you know by any chance whether this applies to the velocity

Bill in an earlier mail gives you the link to a document describing
the problem in more detail. I don't know whether velocity can be put
into the shared directory, but I doubt and wouldn't advise.

MK> Is that also right?

Hello,

I just wanted to thank all those, who replied to my question. Thanks for 
all the useful hints.

I must have been blind. The link, mentioned by Bill, really explains it:

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/configuration.html#config_add


Thanks for your patience

Michael Kastner
