初学Struts，写了一个很简单的应用，主要功能和页面如下：
1、首页显示一个“添加新用户”的链接，点击该链接出发一个forward动作，页面导向到添加用户的jsp页面
2、添加用户的jsp页面中，可供用户输入“用户名”和“用户描述”两项
3、用户输入完毕，将做输入数据合法性检查，检查通过，将输入信息保存进入文件（使用了Properties类），然后返回首页；检查失败返回添加用户页面
4、数据合法性检查分成两块，第一部分检查条件使用Struts的Validator，检查条件配置在Validator.xml中；第二部分检查放在ActionForm中，
检查失败将错误信息置入ActionErrors中，然后返回到添加用户的页面并显示错误信息。
JSP页面、ActionForm和Action类的代码书写都参照了struts-example应用，所以这里代码不再列举，请看附件中的代码包这里值得一提的是，在开发过程中，碰到了一个小问题，正是由于该问题，才导致查看Struts源码，刨根问底的查找错误原因的过程该错误发生在Struts的配置文件中，首先将错误的配置文件列出如下：

This plugin initialize Tiles definition factory. This later can takes some
parameters explained here after. The plugin first read parameters from web.xml, then
overload them with parameters defined here. All parameters are optional.
The plugin should be declared in each struts-config file.
- definitions-config: (optional)
Specify configuration file names. There can be several comma
separated file names (default: ?? )
- moduleAware: (optional - struts1.1)
Specify if the Tiles definition factory is module aware. If true (default),
there will be one factory for each Struts module.
If false, there will be one common factory for all module. In this later case,
it is still needed to declare one plugin per module. The factory will be
initialized with parameters found in the first initialized plugin (generally the
one associated with the default module).
true : One factory per module. (default)
false : one single shared factory for all modules
- definitions-parser-validate: (optional)
Specify if xml parser should validate the Tiles configuration file.
true : validate. DTD should be specified in file header. (default)
false : no validation
Paths found in Tiles definitions are relative to the main context.

首先描述一下系统的出错背景：
1、从首页点击链接来到添加用户的页面 正常
2、在添加用户页面中输入Vlidator.xml文件中定义的错误数据，弹出Javascript对话框，提示出错 正常
3、在添加用户页面中输入合法数据，数据保存进入文件并重定向到首页 正常
4、在添加用户页面中输入ActionForm中定义的非法数据，系统应返回到添加用户的页面 出错！！！
OK，来着重看这个添加动作的定义，如下：
<action
path="/docreateuser"
type="com.zchome.CreateUserAction"
name="CreateUserForm"
scope="request"
input="createuser">
<forward name="createusersuccess" path="/jsp/Welcome.jsp"/>
<forward name="createuser" path="/jsp/createuser.jsp"/>
</action>
从以上的定义可以看出，如果Validate验证出错，Struts应该为我们重定向到input域所定义的uri，即/jsp/createuser.jsp
看起来应该没有问题，再来看看出错信息，如下：
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path createuser does not start with a "/" character

at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:525)
出错信息清楚的说明，“createuser”这个path应该以“/”字符开头
为定位这个错误，从以上错误信息，开始打开Struts的源码RequestProcessor.java进行研究，首先来到这一段：
public class RequestProcessor {
protected boolean processValidate(H
