I'm building my first Struts/Tiles/Hibernate application and ran into some problems.
I have a Businessclass that has a method for a List, I call on that method straight in my jsp. This same approach did work on another tutorial I was working on, but in my project now it isn't.

I've googled around, found things about classpaths, libraries and such but as far as I can see all is well.
I've got hibernate2.jar AND cglib-full-2.0.1.jar in my WEB-INF/lib.
In my java files I'm referering to the right classes (otherwise Eclipse would warn me about it), so I'm frustrated out of idea's!
Another thing. The first rootcause with line 39 is from the throw/catch at wanting to build a SessionFactory and the second one at CustomerDAO:195 is at the List method at trying to get the HibernateUtil.getSession
