Struts with Tomcat Error

[shantanu]

Hi All,

I have installed tomcat 5.0 via executable and wish to work with
struts on Win XP. Downloaded struts jakarta-struts-1.1.

I've put the struts-blank.war and struts-example.war into the webapps
folder of my tomcat installation. Restarted Tomcat.

Typed http://locahost:8080/struts-blank in the address bar and get the
following error.


Please help.

I was having the exact same issue as you. I was running Tomcat 5.0.7
something told me to upgrade to the latest (5.0.9) and then every
thing worked.
