It might be.
In order for this to work, Struts has to be able to parse the web
application deployment descriptor (/WEB-INF/web.xml). To do this, Struts
calls:
InputStream is =
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/web.xml");
At various times Orion has returned null from this call, because the
developers incorrectly believed that a servlet should not be able to
access resources in the /WEB-INF directory. This has gone back and forth
in various Orion versions.
Are there any interesting log messages during the startup of the
controller servlet?
