> The {{com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.NamedVariablePatternMatcher}} class has a 
> bug in the {{compilePattern(String)}} method. The purpose of the method is to 
> compile patterns such as {{"action/\{foo}"}} to a regular expression Pattern 
> and extract the variable names that match each group in the regex. In the 
> example given and the 2.2.1 code base, the pattern will be compiled as 
> {{{}"action/([^/]+)"{}}}. However, if the pattern includes characters that 
> have special meaning to Java's regular expression engine, they are currently 
> not being escaped.
> For example, the pattern {{"action.\{format}"}} is being compiled to 
> {{"action.([^/]{+})"{+}}} which correctly matches {{"action.html"}} but also 
> {{"actionK.html"}} or any other character because the {{'.'}} is not escaped. 
> The bug really bites when a pattern like {{"\{name}.\{format}"}} is used. 
> This will be compiled to {{"([^/]).([^/]+)"}} which will match 
> {{"cars.html"}} but not the way you expect. Because of greediness, it will 
> set {{name = "cars.ht"}} and {{{}format = "l"{}}}.
> I will submit a patch to fix this behavior on the next screen.
