             Summary: NPE while using getText method from ActionSupport
                 Key: WW-4825
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4825
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.5.12
            Reporter: Prasann Grampurohit


Hi,
I am migrating a project from Struts 2.3.3 to Struts 2.5.12 and I see NullPointerException when using the getText method from ActionSupport class.

My action class extends ActionSupport class. I have package.properties file also packaged in the war file.

And in my action class I just use getText method to retrieve a property from package.properties file.

I see the below exception. Could you please help? Thank you.
