Review Comment:
   I would strongly advise against this - a ConfigurationException prevents the 
application from starting when an invalid exclusion list is provided (e.g. 
accidentally left out a comma or misspelt a class).
   
   If we're going to change this to a warning, I think we need additional 
validation to prevent mistakes that lead to decreased security.
   
   Alternatively, consider implementing an `optionalExcludedClasses` instead 
for classes that may not be present in every Struts application.
