Struts cofiguration problem

[Aloke Kuamr Das]

Hello,
I am a beginner in struts but I have studied a lot form the very beginnig of struts, now I want to use it to my project. However according to Thomas Paul's tutorial I configured struts1.1 but I faild to get it's fruit. According to Paul when I typed http://127.0.0.1:8080/struts/jsp/LoginView.jsp to my browser it throws HTTP 500 error saying
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getResourcePaths(Ljava/lang/String Ljava/util/Set;
org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:256)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java)
and some root cause,
So what should I do I mean how I can check the error message.
best regards,
Aloke Kumar Das

Can you please give me the link to downloading the war file.
I would like to test it myself first and tell you.
It is not quite clear from the error message, but
1.check if you have this in your struts-config.xml
---
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames" value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>
<set-property property="stopOnFirstError" value="true"/>
</plug-in>

2.<message-resources key="org.apache.struts.action.MESSAGE" parameter="resources.application"/>
