Cannot find ActionMappings or ActionFormBeans collection

["Chappell, Simon P" <Si...@landsend.com>]

I have battled this for a week and searched the Internet high and low
for answers. After checking the syntax and correctness of web.xml and
struts-config.xml and receiving no errors when I compile and making
certain that my classes and JAR files are in the correct directories and
that I don't have struts.jar in my classpath, I am now completely stuck.

I am using struts 1.0.1, Tomcat 4.0.1, JDK 1.4.0 beta 3, RedHat Linux
7.2. I've also tried a very similar setup using Cygwin on Windows 2000
Professional.

The struts-example application works just fine. So I tried to create my
own simple test application. Most of my test pages work, a plain HTML
page, a simple JSP that uses the <html:html> tag works, but when I try
to use anything more then I get the famous newbie error:

Cannot find ActionMappings or ActionFormBeans collection

The problem with this newbie error is that there are lots of us asking
about it and precious few answers (according to the search results). I
am very determined to get the hang of struts, but how many people have
been scared off because of this error?

I would like to get some input on what I should check first. I'm willing
and able to dive in but need guidance as to where to look first.

All help gratefully appreciated.

Simon

Simon,
A wild shot but best I can suggest
When I've recompiled classes, instead of the new class
loading automatically I start getting struts messages
(things not found). Restarting Tomcat fixes them - but
I'm sure you've tried that a million times.
Please - experts hear this persons plea - I went thru
similar grief with struts.
I like software that forgives user errors & doesnt lay
traps for less experienced users!
Keith.
