It appears that SP9 for WebLogic5.1 (recently released) fixes this problem.
The informative exception is now reported!

You might want to complain to WebLogic about this.
The actual exception that is thrown *does* contain a more useful error
message -- it's just that WebLogic is not telling you about it.
Alternatively, you can declare an error page to handle runtime
errors. The Struts tags that throw exceptions store a copy of the
underlying exception as a request attribute under key
"org.apache.struts.action.EXCEPTION", so you can display it yourself.
