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： 

Java代码  

1. <filter>  
2.         <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>  
3.         <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>  
4.     </filter>  
5.   
6.     <filter-mapping>  
7.         <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>  
8.         <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>  
9.     </filter-mapping>  

这个不同于struts2的2.0版本的过滤器： 

Java代码  

1. <filter>  
2.         <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>  
3.         <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>  
4.     </filter>  
5.     <filter-mapping>  
6.         <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>  
7.         <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>  
8.     </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。
