java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory

Question

I am using My-eclipse and doing a struts project there is no syntax error but on starting tomcat server the following error appear in console.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory

and

javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Parsing error processing resource path jndi:/localhost/strutspro/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml

any idea whats the problem.

Answer 1

Donwload commons-logging and place the jar(s) in WEB-INF/lib.

And for the future - google the class name that is not found to see which library it belongs to, download it and put it on the classpath (WEB-INF/lib in this case)
