Deprecate '#'  in conjunction with adding 
------------------------------------------

         Key: WW-1339
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-1339
     Project: Struts Action 2
        Type: Improvement

    Versions: WW 2.2.2    
    Reporter: Gabriel Zimmerman



Currently the OgnlContext map is used to store variables both by users and by 
XWork / Webwork itself. It is accessed by putting a # sign before the ognl 
string to access it. I propose changing the set tag to use the new set method 
on the value stack so that the # is no longer needed thus cleaning up the 
expression language for the everyday user. 

In order for this to be fixed XW-329 
(http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/XW-329) needs to be completed. 

I believe this would be good to have in 2.0, because it is relatively simple to 
implement and would simplify the EL for new users. 

Also, it could be done in such a way that it was backwards compatible with WW 
2.2 #... would check the stack first, if not there then check the context map.
