Ok, this is going to be a very long post because I am trying to do a simple struts example found here and I am getting an error.
System:
Windows XP
Tomcat 4.1
Struts 1.0
So I will begin with some code.

Ok, that is what I feel the relevent code for my problem. I have the code for the beans if anyone wants to see them, but they are exactly what is on the PDF I posted above.
I have the following directory structure

Files
strutsexample-strutsexample.properties, web.xml, struts-config.xml, PgDisplay.jsp, PgInput.jsp
WEB-INF - struts-template.tld, struts-logic.tld, struts-bean.tld, struts-html.tld, struts.tld, struts-form.tld
classes - My java class files
lib - struts.jar
And finally the error message
