an often seen one

I looked at the archives and saw several mentions of do not put 
struts.jar in anything but the webapp\WEB-INF\lib area.  I did not put 
it in tomcats lib directory and dont believe its in my classpath.  

Tomcat starts on up but I get errors when its setting up the struts 
example program.


set JAVA_HOME=d:\jdk1.3
D:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\bin>startup.bat
Including all jars in ..\lib in your CLASSPATH.
Using CLASSPATH: 
..\classes;..\lib\ant.jar;..\lib\crimson.jar;..\lib\jasper.jar;
..\lib\jaxp.jar;..\lib\jdbc2_0-stdext.jar;..\lib\parser.jar;..\lib\servl
et.jar;.
.\lib\webserver.jar;..\lib\xalan.jar;d:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar

The Basic steps I took to install where
download and extract tomcat3.2
download jaxp1.1 extract
download struts and extract 
copy jaxp's \*.jar into the tomcat3.2\lib directory
copy struts \lib\jdbc2_0-stdext.jar on over to tomcat3.2\lib
copy the struts\webapps\struts-example.war over to the 
tomcat3.2\webapps\ directory

did I miss a step?
