Hi Chris,
Thanks for your response. Sorry for the late response as I was out of town.
I verified struts-config.xml the files and have this
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames"
value="/org/apache/struts/validator/validator-rules.xml,
/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml" />
</plug-in>
There is some changes in Tomcat 5.x and Tomcat 7.x as to how the classes
are loaded, I have a feeling that is what is the issue. I changed the
context.xml for my app so that <loader delegate="true"/> so the class
loader should behave the same way but the issue is still present.
Can you give some more pointers?
Thanks
Raj
