Hi

I am also having this problem. If I run the same project under Rational Application Developer it works fine. I am going to try it with Eclipse 3.0.2 and MyEclipse 3.8.4

Guys,
Somehow the version of commons-validator that is in your classpath is not the version Struts 1.2.x was built against and it is blowing up (NoSuchMethodError). Double check your project’s WEB-INF/lib dir, do you have a commons-validator.jar file there? Also check your application server’s common/lib directory, do you have another copy there?

If you revert your changes to the validator config file, does your application start working again? Can you paste the contents of your validator config file?

Thanks Guys,

The commons-validator file was on correct place………
the problem was with the classpath inclusion in the server. when i removed the struts.jar file classpath in my server it worked fine………

Thanks,
Jack.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorResources.<init>([Ljava/io/InputStream;)V at

That’s an API-mismatch error, meaning the version of commons validator that is being loaded is incompatible with some other lib.

It’s possible your app server already provides an older version and it’s conflicting with the one you are trying to use.
