Sunil D'Monte commented on WW-3689:
-----------------------------------
No we don't use struts.configuration (you're talking about the constant
mentioned
[here|http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/docs/strutsproperties.html],
right?). I see your update in WW-4152, we will take the trunk build and test it
out.
> NullPointerException coming from Settings /
> LegacyPropertiesConfigurationProvider (thread-safety issue?)
