I have a web application using Eclipse, Struts2, and running on a Tomcat 7 Server.
I've been going off of the http://javabrains.koushik.org tutorials.
I have all the basic Struts pieces in place, but for some reason when I introduce this snippet of code into the web.xml.
<filter>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<filter-mapping>
It throws the book at me.

I know this isn't the complete text dump but I don't know how useful the rest of it would be. I need to understand why it's doing this so I can get it working.
Never mind. It turns out all I needed to do is to forget the build path and only put the jars into the WEB-INF/lib folder. Works like a charm :D
