Description

Hi Apache / Struts 2 team,

We've just discovered a bug with the new version 2.5.13 of Struts 2, mainly in OGNL dependency. This is not the case with 2.5.10.

Scenario: we have a boolean method in a "if" condition statement in FTL view. This method takes on argument which is a String ID in the format "X.Y" (ex: "1.1).

Result obtained during the OGNL parsing: StringConverter is called according to the "locale" of the browser and apparently with "fr_FR" locale, the "X.Y" is converted to decimal format "X,Y" which is wrong since we want to stick with our ID as it arrives.
It seems with en_US locale, the decimal conversion doesn't happen.

Result expected: the ID "X.Y" goes to the "if" statement as it is, not converted in fr_Fr locale.
