> While preparing a small demo of struts2 for my students I was annoyed that error messages were not shown in red.
> While investigating why, I noticed a lot of errors like this in the console:
> {code:java}
> GRAVE: "Servlet.service()" pour la servlet [default] a généré une exception
> java.lang.NullPointerException

> While looking at the HTML source of the page and web inspector of my browser, I also noted that three ressources were not found in that page:
>  
> {code:java}
> /struts/utils.js  
> /struts/css_xhtml/styles.css
> /struts/css_xhtml/validation.js
> {code}
>  
>  
> AFAIK, those resources should be served by default from struts-core jar file because 
> {code:java}
> <constant name="struts.serve.static" value="true" />{code}
> by default.
> I could check that setting that constant to false prevents the NPE to occur.
> I was able to find the three files in struts-core jar file.
> I could check that copying those files in my webapp with the constant to false fixed my css issue regarding error messages.
> So the NPE is related IMHO to  DefaultStaticContentLoader not being able to locate correctly the resources in the jar. I do not know why.
