Description

Our BaseAction which extends ActionSupport overrides the addActionMessage() with the following:

@Override
public void addActionMessage(String message) {
  super.addActionMessage(getText(message));
}

With the above method in place during devMode=true, the following error stack trace occurs:

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
