I dug deeper into this issue and found something very surprising. The
strange behaviour centres around the execute() method. I am very tempted to
call it a severe bug (for Struts 2.1.2)...
To make things simple, I produced a test case (see below): two very simple
ModelDriven Action classes. The first one works as expected, and pushes the
Model ("SmallObject") on top of the ValueStack. The second action
surprisingly fails to push the Model on the stack (though the Model is still
accessible through the Action being on the stack).
In short, it seems that the model is not pushed on the stack when its value
is last assigned inside the execute() method!!!
Am I forgetting something, or is this truly a bug?
It might be worth knowing from others if the same problem occurs with
version of Struts earlier than 2.1.2.
