Hello,

I am trying to get the application presented in the tutorial to work. The application is (hopefully) correct but when I start Tomcat I get the following error pasted below.

I have found the FreemarkerManager in "struts2-core-2.0.11.jar". I have searched and couldn't find anyone else having the same problem. Any idease please?

ALLVARLIG: Exception starting filter org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher

One note: it looks a bit strange with the "Lorg" in the beginning of "Lorg/apache/struts2/views/freemarker/FreemarkerManager; " Can it be related?

The path where FreemarkerManager is positioned starts with "org" not "Lorg".

Regards,
Niklas
