Problem with subclassed Form Bean

[Jordan Reed <jo...@hotmail.com>]

I'm attempting to migrate my struts 1.0.1 application to Struts 1.1 and 
running into an annoying little problem that has got me stuck for too many 
hours.

Environment: WinXP, Java 1.4, Tomcat 4.0.3, jBoss 3.0.0

I deleted my entire /public_html directory and replaced it with Struts 
example application. The example application worked great.

So next I threw my application jar into the WEB-INF/lib directory, added my 
login.jsp and updated the struts-config.xml with my action and form bean 
entires:

When I redeploy the war, the action servlet fails to initialize. The stack 
has these exceptions:
2002-08-22 14:24:42,948 ERROR [STDERR] Aug 22, 2002 2:24:42 PM 
org.apache.commons.digester.Digester startElement
SEVERE: Begin event threw exception
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
...
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/apache/struts/action/ActionForm

2002-08-22 14:24:43,258 ERROR [STDERR] Aug 22, 2002 2:24:43 PM 
org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet initApplicationConfig
SEVERE: Parsing error processing resource path /WEB-INF/struts-config.xml
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Okay, a NoClassDefFoundError seems pretty straight forward. My LoginForm 
object extends from ActionForm.  But struts.jar is in my WEB-INF/lib 
directory.  So ActionForm should be working.  Heck, if the ActionServlet is 
being initialized, the Web App can obviously find the struts.jar file.

To prove it to myself I threw JWhich into my WEB-INF/classes directory and 
added a call in my JSP:
<%JWhich.main(new String[] {"org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm"});%>

With the following results:
Class 'org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm' found in 
'file:C:/javadev/jboss-3.0.0_tomcat-4.0.3/catalina/work/localhost/contactmanager/WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar!/org/apache/struts/action/ActionForm.class'

Since my JSP page can see/classload this guy, the ActionServlet shouldn't 
have any problem doing it.
Anyone out there have some wisdom of what could be causing my problem?
