Hi Kevin, As it turns out, it was a permission issue relating to the ognl package. On startup, classes from this package attempt to invoke methods from classpath jars. In order for it to succeed at doing this, it needs permission (if you are running tomcat with some sort of permission manager).
Unfortunately, the struts documentation doesn't explicitly list these for a Tomcat installation (http://struts.apache.org/2.0.6/docs/application-servers.html - notice that Tomcat/JBOSS is not hyperlinked). Luckily, it does however list the permission dependencies for SunOne 7.0 which seem to also work for Tomcat. Thanks.
