struts2 2.1.6报错 严重: Exception starting filter struts2

struts2  2.1.6报错  严重: Exception starting filter struts2
用的是struts2  2.1.6
web.xml中的struts2过滤器为：

<filter>
        <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>

    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

这个不同于struts2的2.0版本的过滤器：

<filter>
		<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
		<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
	</filter>
	<filter-mapping>
		<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
		<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
	</filter-mapping>

2.1.6在部署到tomcat中去，启动的时候报错：

你可以试一下修改在struts.xml里 ，
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" />
把上面这句话改为
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="false" />   
如果能启动成功说明我们问题一样。

现在你把value的值改为true，然后再去改安装版tomcat的路径，

把tomcat的路径改在C盘得根目录下，然后tomcat的路径中不能有空格，你再启动试试，应该就可以了。


其实这个是Struts2.1.6的一个BUG,Tomcat的路径不能有空格。

最后我又测试了一下免安装版的tomcat，就不用改在c盘根目录下。测试也通过。Tomcat的路径不能有空格。

注意：2.1.6版本可以直接在url中，输入例如：http://localhost:8088/Struts2_Test/user/user!add?user.name=a&user.age=8
add方法后面不用加.action,而2.0版本必须加.action,否则访问不到。
