Re: Struts & Ant tools -- JAVA400-L

David,

Thanks for the info.  We are using the Apache server with Tomcat.  We have
Tomcat up and running, but we will probably need some help with Struts.  I
am not sure if we are going to use Ant yet, but if we do, I am sure we will
need some help setting it up too.

Thanks!

Mike
