Manisha, The application's /WEB-INF/lib directory is the preference for many of the Struts jars. Unless you have only ONE Tomcat application using Struts, putting Struts jars in any other place has been, if I recall correctly. I believe I read about reloading issues and possible memory space conflicts issues if the Struts.jar (and some others) are located in shared areas like Tomcat's common/lib or shared/lib directories when more than one webapp uses Struts in that container/Tomcat/Weblogic/etc.

Btw, does this mean that automatically class path is set for all jars which r inside /common/lib OR {yr application}/WEB-INF/lib - which is having precedence ? Thanks once again, regards Manisha "David G. Friedman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Manisha, I don't think setting the classpath with another framework will do the job. You should still have the struts.jar in WEB-INF/classes because the struts.jar should be copied into each webapp. Putting it in some 'global' place may cause errors, especially if multiple struts applications are running. Where is your struts.jar?
