NoSuchMethodError deploying Struts on Windows 95

["Nuttall, Chris" <Ch...@intervoice-brite.co.uk>]

I've successfully deployed/developing using Struts on an NT machine at work,
but have run into a 'simple' problem installing Struts at home on Windows
95.

Placing the struts-example WAR in my webapp directory causes Tomcat not to
start, with the error being reported as method getServletName() not found.
I'm definitely using an up to date version of servlet.jar,  and have tried
the obvious, like searching out and removing old copies of servlet.jar, but
can't seem to nail this one and am even starting to look for the 'red
herring' in all this.

I've tried loading my latest servlet.jar under tomcat\lib (successfully
picked up by tomcat.bat), jdk1.2.2\lib, SERVLETAPI_HOME, and even placing
the jar files on my CLASSPATH, as below...

The most likely explanation for this is that you have an old version of
servlet.jar or jsdk.jar in your classpath, or in your system extensions
directory ($JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext).
