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

Hi,

I would of course *love* to provide a small example, but it seems a bit 
difficult (would probably require quite considerable effort for just 
that purpose). The application in question contains e.g. 100+ JSP files 
and the pages are composed in a component-wise/hierarchical manner with 
the tiles framework, etc.

If it helps anyone understand what the problems could be related to, I 
have noticed a couple more things.

If I create the iterator variable separately by changing

<s:iterator value="subjects" var="subject">
     <h2>${subject.name}</h2>
</s:iterator>

into

<s:iterator value="subjects">
     <s:set var="subject"/>
     <h2>${subject.name}</h2>
</s:iterator>

the names appear also in 7.0.0. The same problem (and the "fix" 
described above) seem to apply to more or less all of the quite numerous 
loops used in the application's JSP files.

Another thing is that I had problems with url parameters in 7.0.0. The 
application follows the Struts "a"-tag documentation and creates links 
in the following manner:

<s:url action="viewSubject" var="viewUrl">
     <s:param name="id" value="#subject.id" />
</s:url>
<s:a href="%{viewUrl}">
     ${subject.name}
</s:a>

Such links stopped working in 7.0.0: the href is seemingly ignored and 
the url becomes just the encompassing action url. But prepending the url 
variable reference with #, ie. href="%{#viewUrl}, results in correct 
href:s also in 7.0.0.

Best Regards
Heikki
