Description

Using WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.11 and upgrading from Struts 2.2.3.1 to 2.3.1.1 breaks the application.

When enforcing the ognl version to 3.0.1, the application works fine. We can't figure out why using ognl 3.0.3 should break anything.

Error messages include:

Server-log:

We think this is the radio-tag in question:

<s:radio name="ourRadioName"
list="#

{'true':'Ja', 'false':'Nei'}

">
<s:param name="break" value="true" />
</s:radio>
