Migrate from Struts 2.3.33 to Struts 2.5.12 LocalizedTextUtil is removed

Question

We tried to migrate from Struts 2.33 to Struts 2.5.12.

We used LocalizedTextUtil in our application directly.

I found that the LocalizedTextU

The struts.xml should be set as:

<constant name="struts.xworkTextProvider" value="DefaultTextProvider" />
<bean type="com.opensymphony.xwork2.TextProvider" name="DefaultTextProvider" class="utils.CustomTextProvider" scope="default" />

And CustomStrutsTextProviderFactory could add bundles

public class MyTextProviderFactory implements TextProviderFactory {

protected LocaleProviderFactory localeProviderFactory;
protected LocalizedTextProvider localizedTextProvider;

@Inject
public MyTextProviderFactory(LocaleProviderFactory localeProviderFactory, LocalizedTextProvider localizedTextProvider) {
    this.localeProviderFactory = localeProviderFactory;
    this.localizedTextProvider = localizedTextProvider;

    this.localizedTextProvider.addDefaultResourceBundle("messages/label");
    this.localizedTextProvider.addDefaultResourceBundle("messages/customerA/label");

}

@Override
public TextProvider createInstance(Class clazz) {
    TextProvider instance = getTextProvider(clazz);
    if (instance instanceof ResourceBundleTextProvider) {
        ((ResourceBundleTextProvider) instance).setClazz(clazz);
        ((ResourceBundleTextProvider) instance).setLocaleProvider(localeProviderFactory.createLocaleProvider());
    }
    return instance;
}

@Override
public TextProvider createInstance(ResourceBundle bundle) {
    TextProvider instance = getTextProvider(bundle);
    if (instance instanceof ResourceBundleTextProvider) {
        ((ResourceBundleTextProvider) instance).setBundle(bundle);
        ((ResourceBundleTextProvider) instance).setLocaleProvider(localeProviderFactory.createLocaleProvider());
    }
    return instance;
}

protected TextProvider getTextProvider(Class clazz) {
    return new TextProviderSupport(clazz, localeProviderFactory.createLocaleProvider(), localizedTextProvider);
}

protected TextProvider getTextProvider(ResourceBundle bundle) {
    return new TextProviderSupport(bundle, localeProviderFactory.createLocaleProvider(), localizedTextProvider);
}

}

You should use StrutsLocalizedTextProvider or GlobalLocalizedTextProvider. They have some util api, however it's marked as deprecated. Happily, it's documented in the javadoc.

_{I'm referencing source code from the repo because I was unable to find these classes in javadoc for Struts 2 Core 2.5.11-SNAPSHOT API}
