Description

In struts 2.3 , to override the TextProvider we used below

	<constant name="struts.xworkTextProvider" value="DefaultTextProvider" />
	<bean type="com.opensymphony.xwork2.TextProvider" name="DefaultTextProvider" class=".utils.CustomTextProvider" scope="default" />

And make CustomTextProvider

public class CustomTextProvider extends DefaultTextProvider{

public String getText(String key, String defaultValue, List<?> args) {
        String text = super.getText(key, defaultValue, args);
        //Do something with the text
        //and return it
    }

 //other getText methods can be override too
}

This seems not to be worked at Struts 2.15.2.

To make some test, I remove my bean from* strust.xml* and put some break points in *DefaultTextProvider *the *getText *of this class is not called, however I find that the *TextProviderSupport **getText *method is called.

Should we override other classes ?!
