How to enable STRUTS?

[jollyplay]

Hi All,

I'm having a virtual dedicated server. It has Apache2.0.51 and Tomcat4.1.30 and Mod_Jk connector.

I have uploaded all the files for my struts application. My index page forwards action(home.do) to the homepage.jsp.

In my lib folder I'm having struts.jar, xml-apis.jar ....

I contacted the Techsupport they told to enable struts. I dont know how to do it. Also I placed the struts.jar in tomcat/common/lib folder.

Kindly help me.

The following exception is thrown,

exception

Hi,

You need to include all the .jar files in the lib that come with Struts. The root cause of the above error is that the servlet wan't able to find commons-digester.jar files
