Description

Hi,

I upgrade Struts2 from the 2.5.10.1 version to the 2.5.14.1 version, and unfortunately I saw that the converter() method of the com.opensymphony.xwork2.conversion.annotations.TypeConversion class got deprecated.

It is very useful when the value of the "converter" attribute corresponds to a Spring-based bean.

Is it a feature to be removed on some next release ? Can this feature be un-deprecated ?

Best regards,

Christophe Deleray
