Re: Facings issues while migrating from Struts 2.5.x to 6.7

Dear all,

I am having somewhat similar problems after upgrading from 6.3.0.2 to 
7.0.0. It has become very difficult to refer to variables inside JSP code!

The first symptom I inspected was quite identical to Murali's problem: 
referring to an attribute via the iterator variable name does not seem 
to work, but referring to the attribute only does work. E.g. a loop of form

<s:iterator value="subjects" var="subject">
   <h2><s:property value="#subject.name" /></h2>
   <%-- a whole lot of other stuff  --%>
</s:iterator>

does not show the values subject.name in 7.0.0 whereas in 6.3.0.2 it 
does. The names show up if I refer to the name without the object 
reference in the form <s:property value="name" />.

While investigating this I noted that even the set-tag example snippet 
from Struts documentation no longer works? If I embed the following lines

X
<s:set var="janesName">Jane Doe</s:set>
<s:property value="#janesName"/>
Y

inside a JSP page, the result is only "X Y" in 7.0.0 but the whole 
expected "X Jane Doe Y" in 6.3.0.2. Here I added the X and Y just to 
verify that that part of the page is processed in the first place.
