Hello Britta.
The behaviour you noted using Struts 2.5.27 appears to be equivalent to
what was reported in a recent JIRA WW-5160. A fix for JIRA WW-5117,
introduced with Struts 2.5.27, appears to have introduced issues for
actions that define a getParameters() method.
Unfortunately I do not think I can answer your question as to whether it
may be a general issue, or specific to the situation of actions with
getParameters() methods defined. The scenario for WW-5160 appears to be
the only one reported so far, though.
Maybe someone else on the mailing list can comment further ?
Regards,
James.

Hi,
When switching from struts 2.5.26 to 2.5.27 we get the following error:
FreeMarker template error (HTML_DEBUG mode; use RETHROW in production!)
Template inclusion failed (for parameter value
"/Empty{name='templateDir'}/Empty{name='expandTheme'}/scripting-events.ftl"):
Template not found for name
"Empty{name='templateDir'}/Empty{name='expandTheme'}/scripting-events.ftl".
The name was interpreted by this TemplateLoader:
org.apache.struts2.views.freemarker.FreemarkerThemeTemplateLoader@679bd9e8.
----
FTL stack trace ("~" means nesting-related):
- Failed at: #include "/${parameters.templateDir}/... [in template
"template/simple/a-close.ftl" at line 40, column 1]
The problem is the following:
In a jsp page we use a struts iterator to iterate a list of objects to
generate a link for each one. The objects do have a method "public
Map<String, Object> getParameters()".
It seems that now FreeMarker calls the method getParameters from the
object on the stack to find the templateDir (that cannot be found)
instead of using the correct parameters as before with struts 2.5.26
We now renamed the method getParameters() to solve the problem, but we
do not understand if it is a general issue with struts 2.5.27 or with
this special situation.
Best regards,
Britta
