I understand and agree your way of thinking. Its true i tried struts 2 the first time today.
But. This misconfiguration thing is doubtly possible, i think, because i used struts2 blank app as a base of my "test". Just 1 filter @ web.xml (struts filter), @ struts xml - 2 constansts were set: <constant name="struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation" value="false" /> <constant name="struts.devMode" value="false" /> +action mapping for test (pasted in my first post). Ok, thanks anyway, will go and try out user list.
