Hello: all of the web app when using Sevlets or Jsps, must conform the Servlet 2.1 especification. I mean it must have a WEB-INF directory and a lib and classes directories into it, in addition to a web.xml file, called the web deployment descriptor.
The webclassloader follows certain steps when loading classes like jars. u could cut the struts jars from the lib directory of your web app and u could put them into the lib directory of tomcat, i mean common/lib, so that they wolud be available for all the web apps. u could also put them in the ext directory from ur java machine, but that's your decision, and the system manager's decision too. I think there is no problem about having several copies of the struts jar, because each application is independent.
