Description

on core/src/main/java/org/apache/struts2/components/Bean.java line 128:

bean = objectFactory.buildBean(ClassLoaderUtil.loadClass(beanName, getClass()), stack.getContext());

Shouldn't this be:

bean = objectFactory.buildBean(beanName, stack.getContext(), false);

The factory knows how to get a Class from a String as well as anyone, but the "name" is not necessarily a class name when the bean is the id of a spring bean.

This affects s:bean tag.

AFAICT all versions are affected (just checked svn trunk).
