　　在网上查了半天，说什么的都有，具体到自己的项目，错误的原因是下面的：
　　在我的项目的 web.xml中，有关config的配置是：

    <init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>  
<param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config-hl.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config-pm.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config-spa.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config-mt.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config-org.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config-scm.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config-rm.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config-dataview.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config-cus.xml,/WEB-INF/struts-config-scmt.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
　　但是在更新代码的时候，恰巧没有把WEB-INF/struts-config-scmt.xml这个文件给更新下来，所以一直报上述错误。
　　错误查询步骤，在我的项目中，使用了struts1.1，其中的ActionServlet类中parseModuleConfigFile方法是： 

private void parseModuleConfigFile(
String prefix,
String paths,
ModuleConfig config,
Digester digester,
String path)
throws UnavailableException {
InputStream input = null;
try {
URL url = getServletContext().getResource(path);
InputSource is = new InputSource(url.toExternalForm());
input = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(path);
is.setByteStream(input);
digester.parse(is);
getServletContext().setAttribute(Globals.MODULE_KEY + prefix, config);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
handleConfigException(paths, e);
} catch (IOException e) {
handleConfigException(paths, e);
} catch (SAXException e) {
handleConfigException(paths, e);
} finally {
if (input != null) {
try {
input.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new UnavailableException(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
}
　　第1003行就是
　　URL url = getServletContext().getResource(path);
　　也就是说在查找配置文件的过程中，有一个path找不多对应的资源文件；
　　然后在web.xml的config字段中，挨个检查配置文件，发现找不到 /WEB-INF/struts-config-scmt.xml 对应的源文件，于是找到出错原因。
