It was rather unintended :(

> We recently upgraded from struts 2.3.x to 2.5.2 at our workplace. One of the changes we noticed was with stream result - if an error occurs, the output stream is automatically closed and no response is sent to the user (ignoring our custom error-500 page). The content-length of the response is thus 0 - a blank page.
> This is occuring due to the addition of try-with-resources. In 2.3.x, the output stream wasn't set until after we find the input stream, like so:
> {code}
> try {
>    get inputStream
>    if (inputStream == null)
>         throw Exception
>    get outputStream
> } finally {
>    if inputStream != null inputStream.close()
>    if outputStream != null outputStream.close()
> }
> {code}
> However, in 2.5, this was changed to use a try-with-resources on the output stream by ticket WW-4515 (https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=struts.git;a=commit;h=3fab155b4cc530ca3ca0b69299ddcb348eb5f26d):
> {code:java}
> try (OutputStream oOutput = oResponse.getOutputStream()) {
> // ...
> }
> {code}
> So, when we throw an error, the stream is closed and nothing further is written. 
> Is this intended behaviour? Is there an alternate solution to show our own error pages now (with stack trace?)?
