> we are using struts 2.0.5, and migrating to 2.3.15.1 to get the security patches.
> During that time we noticed, the default token attribute name is changed from 'struts.token' to 'token'. Also this information is not published in change logs.
> This change impacts the application uses the custom token interceptor, where application get the token value from request using request.getParameter("struts.token");
> I request to provide a constant value to keep the default token name to maintain struts.xml file.
> This provides the generic approach to define the token attribute name during the implementation level.
> otherwise this is painful to change the token name at each jsp pages.
> currently we are using <s:token/> the generated token name is struts.token
> The same code generates the token name as 'token' in struts 2.3.15.1
> there are two options left to us.
> 1. change the <s:token/> to <s:token name="struts.token"/>
> 2. keep the old version of token.class in 2.3.15.1
> The better approach is 
> create a constant to maintain the token name at struts.xml.
