Github user wolpi commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/struts/pull/50#issuecomment-142507218 > It make struts more robust. When LocalizedTextUtil is used as intended and supported it is already robust :wink: > It doesn't increases maintenance burden Well, this small patch itself does not. But the idea that struts code should work even when no ValueStack is available. There are surley many more places in the code base where such null checks are necessary to really support Util classes outside of struts context. And the maintanance burden comes over time. Even when your use case would work right now, with every change any struts developer does, or external contributers are doing, they must remember to make their changes working even outside of struts context. Or put it another way: LocalizedTextUtil is not part of public API. It is a struts internal utility. What acutally is your use case? Can't you use java resource bundle API?
