Description

Hi Struts Team...

We use New Relic - a software which kinds of breaks down every web transaction. While monitoring the transactions taking longest time, we came across multiple actions with a single issue where 99% of the time is attributed to this filter call.

Here is how we have configured the web.xml

	<filter>
		<filter-name>struts</filter-name>
		<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
		 <init-param>
        	<param-name>disableActionScanning</param-name>
        	<param-value>true</param-value>        	
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
        	<param-name>actionPackages</param-name>
        	<param-value>com.xxx.application.webapp.*</param-value>
        </init-param>
	</filter>
	<filter-mapping>
		<filter-name>struts</filter-name>
		<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
	</filter-mapping>

Let me know if you all need any more information to help me out on this.

Thanks,
BP.
