Struts Project Server Deploy Problem

[pamir sonmez]

I am developing a web project using eclipse ide with struts2, spring and hibernate and maven.
I am adding necessary jar files to pom file and using i them.
However, when I am starting the server, I am getting ClassNotFoundException
So I am also putting jar files to tomcat/lib folder.

Is it true or should I do something to automatically publish jar files to tomcat server lib folder when server is starting?

I'm not very familiar with Maven so can't say what you are doing wrong. Your struts jars should be deployed with your application and not under tomcat/lib directory. Also it would be easier for people to answer your question if you tell us more details. Which class is creating the ClassNotFoundException?? Also can you post the relevant parts of the pom.xml where you've configured the jars in your project...

Can you please post the exception stack to see exactly what's the problem? it maybe a dependency you are using in the POM.xml required another dependency. Or maybe a mis-configuration in the POM file leads to that error.
