GenericDataSource error

["Luna, Kat" <Ka...@emergis.com>]

Hi,

I need to get familiar with using Struts and JDBC and I'm trying to run the
fruit-glaze application.  I've installed mysql and the driver, added the
driver to my classpath and started mysql as a service.  Then I added
fruit-glaze.war to the webapps folder and started Tomcat.

Now I've got 
Begin event threw exception
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org/apache/struts/util/GenericDataSource 

when Tomcat tries to compile struts-config.xml

I can see that struts.jar is in the /lib folder and GenericDataSource.class
is there, so what am I missing? Is there something else I need to add to my
classpath to make sure that Tomcat deploys the fruit-glaze.war correctly?

Thanks,

Kat Luna

Maybe you just need to place this class inside a jar
file which resides
in the WEB-INF/lib directory?

AFAIK, assorted classes belong under
WEB-INF/classes
