Problems running struts-example application

[Matthias Bauer <Ma...@livinglogic.de>]

Hi all,

I am just starting out with struts and was trying to get the
struts-example to run. I am using Tomcat 3.1 and have downloaded and
compiled Struts 0.5

After having built the binary distribution from source, I copied the
files struts-documentation.war, struts-test.war and struts-example.war
into my webapps directory.

Starting tomcat still works fine, but when I try to access
http://localhost:8080/struts-example/ I get the following error:

The xml.jar file where com.sun.xml.tree.ParentNode is located is in my
Tomcat lib directory. So I don't quite understand what's going on here.

Can anybody help me out please? Thanks in advance.

Updating to tomcat 3.2.1 did the job. With this version I am able to run
both Struts 0.5 and the latest nightly build.

Thanks, Matthias

Hello,

If possible, update to latest struts nighly build and to tomcat 3.2.1.

You must have parser.jar and jaxp.jar in your server classpath. See
Struts INSTALL & README for more details.

HTH,
