Description

Negative integers are giving OGNL error setting expression when submitted through form post or query string ONLY when the language is arabic. For all other languages the form works fine & no OGNL errors. The negative integer value is perfectly received at the action side.

I have also posted the question in very detail here :

The SSCCE to demonstrate this bug is available here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/109241721/Struts2Example.zip

username is an integer, it accepts both positive & negative integers when not using arabic language, but as soon as language is changed to arabic, it doesn't accept negative integers and start throwing OGNL exceptions for error setting expression.
