RE: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: InputStream cannot be nul l

["Calabrese, Jason" <jc...@devcor.com>]

I think I found a solution to the problem, but I'm not sure why it
worked.

It was my understanding that websphere didn't look at the web.xml file
so I didn't have one.  When I copied the web.xml from the example
aplication the error went away.

If anyone knows whats going on let me know.

I'm trying to get struts working with Websphere 3.5.4.  I got the
example application to work, so I'm pretty sure that I have a
configuration problem now.

my console output is as follows:

7/24/01 10:45 AM : AUDIT [ARZT1000/Default Server]: SRVE0048I: Loading

I've tried moving the struts-config.xml file, but when I do the output
hangs at:
7/24/01 10:45 AM : AUDIT [ARZT1000/Default Server]: SRVE0091I: [Servlet
LOG]: "action: Initializing configuration from resource path
/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml"

so I think it is finding the config file.  

Any idea what the problem could be?
