I find having multiple struts-config files helps considerably to manage a large project, but I find that the module development model generally doesn't suit my applications, so I do what Viral is trying to do all the time.
Furthermore, whitespace and leading slashes are not a problem: Here's what I have in one project:
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/library/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/image/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/reporting/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/offer/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/configure/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/customizeflow/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/preferences/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/help/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/group/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/media/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/deliver/struts-config.xml,/WEB-INF/dealer/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/agency/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/planner/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/coop/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/proxy/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/training/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/contentmgmt/struts-config.xml
</param-value>
</init-param>
All those spaces and newlines are ignored. This is in Struts 1.2, but I believe this functionality goes back a ways.
By the way, for those thinking about using this, I find using directories instead of merely unique file names helps keep things organized. It gives you a place to put related Validator and Tiles config files (both of which also support any number of config files) and I like to be able to do searches across all files named "struts-config.xml" (like this morning when I found another developer had defined a global exception handler which was overriding the exception config I had put in the first struts-config file.)
I've never had a problem with this, so I'm not sure what to suggest, but I can tell you that it will work.

By any chance are you trying to map both these struts file as same input parameter.
Better try this, <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/resr-fin-struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>config/app2</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/resr-tam-struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param>
You will be able to access action classes for your 2nd struts-config as mentioned below http://localhost/app2/YourActionClass.do
Hope this helps.
