Description

Some time ago I posted a message on the mailing list but got no reply. See http://struts.1045723.n5.nabble.com/struts-rest-plugin-2-2-3-result-from-POST-td4469274.html

We really would like to update to newer versions of Struts and benefit from the security fixes but we absolutely care about backward-compatibility. We are aware that it is not a "valid" REST practice to return results from POST operations and we wish we had not done so in the first place. Unfortunately, to remain backward compatible we have no choice. Do you see a way to restore the 2.2.1 behavior to allow us to remain backward-compatible?
