Configuring Struts 2 with Eclipse. I am having a hard time getting this to work properly. To my understanding, it can find the file, but it can't load the configuration file out of it. What am I doing wrong? I've cleaned the program, all the maven dependencies appear to be there. I have another working project and honestly everything looks spot on the same, except that one works, and this one doesn't.
SEVERE: Dispatcher initialization failed

You should not use FilterDispatcher in the new project, this one has been deprecated long time ago. The current struts2 filter class could be configured in the web.xml as
<filter>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>actionPackages</param-name>
<param-value>com.manifestcorp.sunday</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Note, the init parameter allows you to specify packages to scan for action classes.
