The class has not been deprecated because it is part of the public API of the ActionForm class, which is obviously routinely subclassed for Struts apps.

This thread on TSS:

points out an error in the release notes (or perhaps the JavaDoc) concerning the
deprecation of ActionErrors. From the "What's new?" section:


Although not removed, in many cases you should replace the deprecated
ActionErrors with the preferred ActionMessages to ensure correct operation.

Before submitting a bug report, I just want to verify where the bug is. Should
the release notes use ActionError/ActionMessage instead of
ActionErrors/ActionMessages? Should the JavaDoc for ActionErrors be changed so
that the class really is deprecated (currently, only its methods and fields are
deprecated)? Should the paragraph quoted above be changed to:


Although not deprecated, in many cases you should replace ActionErrors with the
preferred ActionMessages to ensure correct operation.


Depending on what needs to be changed, I may have been premature in my response
to the thread ;-). Of course, it would have been more fun to fire something
back at "graham o'regan", but I've always been impressed with the professional
attitude of the Struts developers in the face of public idiocy.
