I suspect there is a concurrency issue with the DefaultJSONWriter implementation. I have overridden the JSONInterceptor so a new instance of JSONUtil is used with every request and the issue is not happening anymore. I suppose there is a performance cost with that change but for now it works.
https://github.com/lalo-mx/struts/commit/ed29e3f4ed841ef13559c02da1c8dca9b68fb0a7 Does it sound reasonable what I have found? Or should I better review the configuration / documentation for some other change that I have not contemplated?
