Thanks Jim.
The web.xml is in the right place:
1908 Sun Dec 12 18:34:58 PST 2004 WEB-INF/web.xml
I have checked the permissions and I feel they are correct. It is very
puzzling; I have ruled out an ant build issue either.
Thanks

Except that struts-config.xml is read after web.xml, and tomcat is apparently
not finding the web.xml file. This could be for a couple of reasons:
1) web.xml is not in the WEB-INF directory
2) read permissions on web.xml
3) read permissions on WEB-INF and/or parent directories.
In essence, the web.xml file tells tomcat to load the action servlet for
struts. The action servlet then reads struts-config.xml. So, in this
particular case it is not likely that the problem is struts related.
I suspect that the war won't work becuase the war has to have a web.xml while
the exploded does not.
