Description

An incorrect jsp name for the plainText results type quietly fails and there is no logging indication either. For example, jsp/myjsp.jsp might be incorrect. One executes the action and nothing comes out, no error, no nothing. Change to /jsp/myjsp.jsp and suddenly all is well. In revision 651946 of PlainTextResult.java, for example (should be the same in other versions - experienced in Struts 2.2.1), @ line 148, an exception happens and execution jumps to the finally. As a result, the null check is skipped and no chance of logging.
