Description

Got the following error (Error No. 2) when trying to create one record. The prompt method is not supposed to be invoked for aSbmt1. Before that, the aSbmt1 was not accepted (Error No. 1). I tried several ways to try to overwrite the regular expression without success. Was something strange introduced into the Struts 2 version 6.0.3? Is Strict Method Invocation (SMI) in a dead loop? I am surprised at that there is no issue reported for the Struts 2 version 6.0.3 yet.
