The solution here is the developer who made the syntax
doesn't get to go to go to lunch or home until the
error is fixed. ;-) !

Seriously, bringing up a system by ignoring an easily
caught syntax error, by using XMLcooktop or some other
XML validator is just asking for problems. It would
me nice if struts could check that all classes specified
in the struts-config.xml exist before starting up.

I know how you feel, when writing java when every thing
doesn't compile, I wish sometimes it would just run every
thing that did compile, and ignore everything that didn't,
but no language I know works that way, unless it is interpreted.

The case is different when an external resource is not available,
then you would want to operate in a degradated mode, until it came back
up.

Here we are talking about a syntax error.
