Description

By copy and paste error, I had a path twice.

Luckily the class for the second one wasn't available yet, so, eventually, it
failed. But it took me a long time to figure out that this was the case because
I looked at the first occurrence and there everything appeared to be fine.

Suggestion: When parsing struts-config.xml, abort or at least warn in debug mode
when a path is ambigous!

The error I got, that didn't really lead me to the double problem was.
HTTP Status 500 - No action instance for path /doubleString could be created

type Status report

message No action instance for path /doubleString could be created

description The server encountered an internal error (No action instance for
path /doubleString could be created) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
