[Raveendra Mutyala]

hi friends,
i had done an application related to struts in WSAD5.1.2 and wanted to run the same application on tomcat. so i had created a war file and deployed on tomcat. then it is raising and exception as follows:

In web.xml you path for struts-config.xm should start with a "/"(front slash)

<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
