Hi everybody.
I'm senior designer in developing OO application in Java but I'm quite new in developing web applications and using struts. Now I have to become "expert" in few weeks and so I found out some tutorials on the net and trying to apply them.

Now I'm facing the usual problems of beginners, I mean understanding what I have to put where.
I would really appreciate your help, I tried a lot of times in changing the xml files and JSP files but the example (a very trivial one) didn't work.
In the following the error, the directory structure and the xml/jsp files.
I'm using Tomcat 6 and struts 1.3.10
I don't think the problem is in the java files. Ant works fine and the behaviour of the various Action and ActionForm is very trivial.

Thanks in advance for all you can tell me about it.
Regards

For examples on struts you can refer here. I will suggest you download one example and try executing. In that way you can easily find the problem. All the required jar files can be downloaded with the example. The only thing you need to do is copy and paste the example inside the webapps folder of tomcat.

I'm using Tomcat 6 and struts 1.3.10
I don't think the problem is in the java files. Ant works fine and the behaviour of the various Action and ActionForm is very trivial.



I am not a expert but I think I know where the problem is
Tomcat 6 have a different version of Servlet than what Struts 1.3.10 is build on
Tomcat 6 use version 2.5 while Struts 1 and 2 both use version 2.4 (hope I am right about this)

Try to use Tomcat 5.5 instead and I think your problem will go away since you don't think there is anything wrong with the code

hope this helps

Struts 1 works fine on TC6.

I see Java files, I don't see any class files--but it's hard to tell, because it's really difficult to read with it not being in code tags.
