-----------------------------------
Struts 2.5.x is going to be EOL in a month
https://struts.apache.org/announce-2023#a20231030
> Struts 2.5 to 6.x migration issues caused by removal of deprecated code
> within a minor release
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WW-5403
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5403
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Brian Andle
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 6.4.0
>
>
> Created this Jira to represent the additional discussion in WW-5251 because
> there appears to be some breaking changes that could prevent Struts users
> from being able to successfully migrate to 6.x. Since these are the result of
> other tickets the discussion should be moved to a new Jira.
> Text from my comments in WW-5251 which results in breaking changes, removal
> of deprecated methods, in a minor version update of the major version that
> introduced the deprecations.
> This poses a possible risk to consumers of Struts who may need to attempt an
> upgrade to 6.x when 2.5 goes out of support in early 2024.
>
> --------
> I've started building our application locally and now hitting various compile
> issues, in our code, from WW-5304 (and others) . Specifically, at the moment,
> {{core/src/main/java/com/opensymphony/xwork2/ActionContext.java}} dropped
> {{getName()}} which wasn't marked as deprecated. Looks like
> `org.apache.struts2.interceptor.NoParameters` was also removed. I'm still
> working though building our app, one fail at a time.
> Should these deprecations been dropped in minor releases as many were
> initially marked as deprecated in 6.0.0 with WW-4789 WW-3788 (and any others
> as I find them)?
> I was able to get our app built, and started and light smoke test, and still
> maintain compatibility with our sister project (might not be the case with
> every Struts consumer though). Had to make the following additional
> adjustments to get from 6.1.2.2 to ~6.4.0.0 WW-5251 revert branch:
> * {{ActionContext.getContext().getName()}} _*->*_
> {{ActionContext.getContext().getActionName()}}
> * {{org.apache.struts2.interceptor.NoParameters}} _*->*_
> {{org.apache.struts2.action.NoParameters}}
> ** The {{action}} version does not exist in 6.1.2.2
> *
> {{actionInvocation.getInvocationContext().setParameters(HttpParameters.create(parameters).build())}}
> _*->*_
> {{actionInvocation.getInvocationContext().withParameters(HttpParameters.create(parameters).build())}}
> * Caffeine jar is now a required dependency
