Yes, I tried this. Unfortunately, the minute I include below in struts.xml
<bean type="com.opensymphony.xwork2.TextProvider" name="struts" class="...MyCustomTextProvider" /> Struts complains on startup that bean with the same name has already been defined. Additionally, stepping through struts validation code, I can see that it is not even using this "bean" definition, but instead, proceeds to create a new instance of the default TextProviderSupport. It is simply hardcoded to do so.
