部署Struts2.x时报Exception starting filter struts2 java.lang.NullPointerException

最近开始看Struts2，之前在项目中用过Struts1.x

1和2的差别还是有点

但这些都是其次的

最开始的配置一个简单的Hello World就把我丢翻了

到最后改了之后才觉得这个问题真变态，虽然这个问题在网上的解决方案已经说了无数次了

哎

如果你用Tomcat部署的时候遇到这样的问题，

 那么恭喜你也许我说的方案能解决你的问题了

干掉你的Tomcat安装路径中的所有空格包括版本号前的空格（默认安装那有空格，我浪费了很多时间就是在那个空格上面）

至于原因还有待研究，该休息了，明天继续学习
