今天下午遇到一個問題，在tomcat上重新配置項目啓動的時候出現了，
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext filterStart
嚴重: Exception starting filter struts2

網上的好多人說是struts2的bug具體的原因我還真不知道，看到網上說是因爲tomcat的路徑支持空格，和這個原因有關。然後，我就把tomcat卸掉，重新安裝了一遍（在重新安裝的過程中可能會出現警告框，直接點忽略就可以了），在安裝的過程中在選擇安裝路徑的時候要把，tomcat 6.0之間的空格去掉，然後啓動，問題解決。
這次的問題，具體的願意我也搞不懂，如果有哪位大神看見了呢，我們可以探討。有什麼不對的呢，還請指出，這個問題我還真不太明白，主要是對tomcat的原理不太清楚。
