Hi there,

Installed tomcat 5.5, struts fine, even build.xml worked. But when I try to reference index.jsp, I get this nasty exception. Any clues.

org.apache.jasper.JasperException
    org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.servic e(JspServletWrapper.java:370)
    org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFil e(JspServlet.java:291)
    org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspSe rvlet.java:241)
    javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet .java:802)


root cause

java.lang.NullPointerException
    org.apache.struts.taglib.TagUtils.retrieveMessageR esources(TagUtils.java:1219)
    org.apache.struts.taglib.TagUtils.message(TagUtils .java:1082)

    javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet .java:802)

followed example, web.xml, struts-config, etc. are as per book? Has me stymied.
