Unable to Run Struts based JSPs in WSAD 5.0.

[Tarun Dewan]

Hi All,
I'm currently using WSAD 5.0 and in my Web Project Struts jars are available
and it compiles fine. But when i try to execute the same in a server, i get
following error.
[6/20/03 9:54:32:938 IST] 13ad2d27 WebGroup E SRVE0026E: [Servlet
Error]-[org/apache/struts/taglib/html/TextTag]:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/struts/taglib/html/TextTag
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java(Compiled Code))
at
java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java(Compiled
Code))

If i add struts.jar in classpath of my server then while server is starting
i'm getting following error :

Eagerly waiting for any resolution for the above issue.
Thanks & regards,

I've seen a few such odd errors in WSAD.
What the first one boiled down to was that I needed to delete and replace the struts.jar file because it was somehow corrupted just enough that the server couldn't read it.
Your second problem could also be related, or it could be that it is unable to locate the DTD file for your struts-config.xml -- I recommend keeping a copy of the DTD in your WEB-INF folder and changing your DOCTYPE line as follows:
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN" "struts-config_1_1.dtd">
