Description

Setting the locale attribute in a controller element in struts-config.xml has
no effect. The documentation states that locale should default to true (for
both the controller element and the init-param in web.xml, but locale for a
default module defaults to false.
This appears to be a transitional bug due to temporary backwards-compatibility
code. The defaultControllerConfig() method in ActionServlet effectively
overrides and ignores any settings in the struts-config controller element.
Lines 1453 and 1458 cause locale to default to false.
