Struts/Resin classpath problem

What is the mechanism by which Causo Resin EJB server is supposed to
find the various Struts jars?

The instructions don't mention anything about adding them all to the
classpath, but without doing that, it seems Servlet compiles bomb
unable to find the classes in the struts jars.

Similarly I had to put all the Resin jars on the classpath to help it
find them. It did not seem to be clever enough to find its own lib
directory. What gives?

The trick appears to be to copy the needed *.jar files in the
WEB-APP/classes directory for each app that needs them. If you put
them in the ext directories, or the classpath, then resin gets
confused and uses Strut's versions of some classes instead of its own
during execution. The struts versions are for compilation.. This
seems a very inefficient way to handle the problem, but at least it
works.
