Struts fails silently in too many places

           Summary: Struts fails silently in too many places
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.0 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Controller
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: flawlor@athensgroup.com


When something is specified incorrectly, usually in
struts-config.xml or invocation of struts methods,
the result is nothing!  No exception, no log entry.

Among the people I work with and from many forum posts
it seems like this is a common source of frustration 
for struts developers.  Some specific examples:

- If the ActionForm name is not defined in struts-config, silence
- If the ActionForward string is not found, silence
- If no app.properties found, pretty close to silence
- if you say html:text indexed="yes" (should be "true"), silence
  (note, the documentation implies it should be "yes")
  (many tag errors just result in silence)
- If the ActionError type is not found, silence

Most of these should cause exceptions and/or log entries.
