Hi again :) well, i wrapped the class and had it print out the variables for the path, resource, and configResource to the logs....well no surprise they were all null. I used your config below and placed the chain-config.xml in the WEB-INF dir....root cause: java.lang.NullPointerException. So perhaps I do not have the right struts-chain jar? It is titled struts-chain-0.5-dev.jar. I find this doubtful...since it seems that the properties are just not getting set. any ideas? could this be some crazy classpath issue?
