line 5 of attachment error....

5 import org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils; // error here

[Tolls]

Does your build script know where the jar file is?
Since you're getting that error I would guess not...

[lse123]

Since this came from Parsons text java & xml by course.co.uk/course.com well you do not think this shouldn't be pre-configured and ready run .... is an example in chapter11 of

Cengage Learning -Dynamic Web Application Development

of EXAMPLE 11-6 of zip file of download: Chapter 11 ... can you detect?

[Tolls]

Sorry, I don't have time for running through build scripts and the like...

[lse123j]

can you at least tell me, script for the what statement to include in attached build.xml.txt for org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils?
jar in
/WEB-INF/lib

[Tolls]

  <path id="project-classpath">
   <fileset dir="${tomcat-lib}">
    <include name="*.jar/" />
   </fileset>
   <fileset dir="${tomcat-home}\bin">
    <include name="*.jar/" />
   </fileset>
  </path>

That bit defines where to look for the jar files needed for compilation.
All you have in there at the moment is the tomcat directories...

[lse123]

well if put in a tomcat dir may also work? now is in jars along standard.jar, jstl.jar...in web app folder, a non-tomcat folder...?

[Tolls]

You need to add the directory containing all the jars you need to compile this to, presumably, the project class path. DO you understand what that bit of the build file I posted means?

[lse123]

you mean the build.xml who builds and deploy an app, via file.war then, these files (jar) you refer must be inside file.war or in the Tomcat?

[Tolls]

If you're compiling then you have the source files somewhere...before even having a war.

wars should only have the compiled and deployable application in it.

[lse123]

you mean all or most jars must be out of war?

[lse123]

after put at > C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.18\lib\commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
>I compile SUCCESS BUT GET ERROR[after form submit]:
MAY FAULT may packages and file.java organization?

[Tolls]

You're missing apache commons logging in your applications lib.

[lse123j]

what is this briefly... is it file.jar or file.java or...?

[Tolls]

It's a jar file.
