I hope anybody can help me

Verify that the struts jar file is in class path, the exception clearly says that it couldn't find the action package and other classes, which means the jar file is not available.

JAVA_HOME
C:\Archivos de programa\Java\jre1.5.0_10

SONAL\JAVA\ECLIPSE\TEST\WEB-INF\src\java\examples\simple\SimpleActionForm.java

the .class file can be generate
