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.

Could you please file a bug on this into our issue tracking system:
