Synopsis: 
struts-example will (must!) fail if installed as WAR

Description:
There are two problems with the struts-example WebApplication.
First, the inline javadocs of DatabaseServlet.java
mention the ability to set the 'pathname' of the database
as init-argument. However, the code in DatabaseServlet.init
does only look for 'debug'. This, together with the way
how pathname is implemented, causes the example to fail,
if it is deployed as .war-file. (In this case, the
call to GetRealPath() inside pathname() returns null,
causing the servlet to load from "null/WEB-INF/database.xml"
which of course does not exist.)
