The servlet container is allowed to put the app into production if an individual servlet fails to initialize (but not if a listener or filter fails -- don't you just love backwards compatibility on decisions you wish you could change? :-). Therefore, it is indeed a bug for Struts to allow a failed startup to be put into production. We should really be checking for that situation on subsequent requests, and giving a more intelligible response.
