Note: by default, glassfish server uses http service port number as 8080 but there is a clash with oracle http service on port 8080. so we need to change http service port number of glassfish server like the following. 1)go to c:\program files\glassfish-3.0.1\glassfish\domains\domain1\config folder and open domain.xml file and change <network-listener> port from 8080 to 9999. save the xml file. 2)open services tab at left side of NetBeansIDE --> expand servers --> right click on glassfish server and stop then start the glassfish server. steps to develop a struts application on MyEclipse8.x: 1) start --> programs --> MyEclipse --> MyEclipse8.x --> Enter workspace: d:\strutswork1 -->ok. 2)
