Hi Dan, Sorry that I don't have an answer for you, but rather a question: "are you using Eclipse for your development?" is that where you use the breakpoints? I've been trying to setup struts 2 to work with Eclipse, but have not been able to get it to work; so instead, I code the files with a simple text editor and move them around, but don't get the advantage of an IDE.
Could you please point me to an online resource that uses Eclipse with struts 2 (a simple one to follow that is, because there's a struts 2 + spring + ... tutorial that is hard to use and get the simple stuff like a helloworld app going).
