Description

Using annotations from the struts2-convention-plugin in Action classes did not work in JBoss AS7 because the com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.finder.ClassFinder was unable to read the classes in WEB-INF/classes.

To get it to work, I made a small change in the readClassDef(String) method:

if (resource == null && StringUtils.contains(className, "WEB-INF/classes")) {
resource = classLoaderInterface.getResource(StringUtils.substringAfter(className, "WEB-INF/classes"));
}

I'm relatively new to this setup/environment, but I didn't see a configuration option or another way to do this without modifying this class or some other class.
