Re: Struts Installation Problem (duplicate servlet.jar)

Posted by Wayne Ohm <wo...@home.com>.

I thought there might be some people who are having the same problem, so I'm
sharing this with you.    The NoSuchMethodError problem was caused indeed by a
duplicate servlet.jar being in C:\jdk1.3\jre\lib\ext (probably an old version?).
Perhaps this should be mentioned in the next README.

The most likely explanation is that you have an extra copy of struts.jar or
servlet.jar on your classpath (or in the system extensions directory,
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext).  Could you double check that?

I am rather new to both Tomcat and Struts myself, however managed
to install both without a hiccup on NT 4 with jdk1.2.2.

Just before your stack trace however, the line:
 Guessed home=c:\tomcat
does not look good.
Where have you installed tomcat?
