Description

After upgrading from 2.5.2 to 2.5.10 I get a NullPointerException when calling getText("myKey") in an utility class like this:

Example

public class ListGenerator extends ActionSupport {

    public final List<String> getValues() {
        final List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();

        result.add(getText("select.header"));
        result.add(getText("register.female"));
        result.add(getText("register.male"));

        return result;
    }
}

java.lang.NullPointerException at com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport.getLocale(ActionSupport.java:64)

....

ERROR org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.DefaultDispatcherErrorHandler - Exception occurred during processing request: java.lang.NullPointerException
