Exception starting filter struts2 java.lang.NullPointerException 问题解决

一个Struts2小程序，在改DevModel为true后调试出了问题,

<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" />
	 
	<package name="default" namespace="/" extends="struts-default">
 
        <action name="hell">
            <result>
                /Hello.jsp
            </result>
        </action>
    </package>

在DevModel为false的时候程序正常，当这个改动可能对以后的程序开发比较麻烦。。网上查了一下，是struts2的一个bug，简单的方法就是在Tomcat安装目录中不要出现空格，经测试，方法正确，问题解决了。(本人使用:struts-2.3.8-all和tomcat-6.0.26.exe)
