Hello Everyone
I am trying to implement a basic Struts2 application but i am unable to get through. Following is the error console :

jar files are as follows :

asm-3.3.jar
asm-commons-3.3.jar
asm-tree-3.3.jar
commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
commons-chain-1.2.jar
commons-collections-3.2.jar

ognl-2.7.3.jar
struts2-core-2.3.15.1.jar
xwork-core-2.3.15.1.jar

It looks like the first error has to do with Tiles:

Oct 22, 2013 1:32:16 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart  
SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener  
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener  
 

Are you trying to use Tiles?
I have the Struts 2.3.15.1 version handy and the list of dependencies in the example application is as follows:

asm-3.3.jar
asm-commons-3.3.jar
asm-tree-3.3.jar
commons-fileupload-1.3.jar
commons-io-2.0.1.jar
commons-lang3-3.1.jar
commons-logging-1.1.3.jar
freemarker-2.3.19.jar
javassist-3.11.0.GA.jar
log4j-1.2.17.jar
ognl-3.0.6.jar
struts2-core-2.3.15.1.jar
xwork-core-2.3.15.1.jar

I see a number of differences between this file list and the list that you specified.

Thanks for your reply. No i am not trying to use Tiles framework in my application. I am just making a simple application with implementation of interceptors.
I have tried using different combinations of jar files but nothing seems to be working. Currently i am getting this error in my console :

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter

I have one more doubt. The tutorials available on the internet gives different directory structure. Some says that the struts.xml file should be in the source folder . Some says it should be in the classes folder ( classes folder is in the WEB-INF folder) . Which one is the right practice ? What is the difference between the two ?

Thanks Again!!!

There's so many variables in the dependencies, getting them right by trial and error is nearly impossible. Your best bet is copying the dependencies from the example application called "struts2-blank".

It doesn't matter so long as your build puts the file in the right place (WEB-INF/classes). That said, the current convention is to put the struts.xml file in the source folder.

Ok thanks Joe... i will try doing as you said, If get stuck will get back here
Thanks Again!!!

[Tarun Oohri]

Thanks i have tried making whole new application with your given jar files and it is working very fine. Thanks a ton, was trying to get through from past 2 days .
