Description
The com.opensymphony.xwork2.ValidationInterceptor was changed as a result of WW-2996 so that the name from the struts configuration file is passed into the action validation manager instead of the action alias name.
The com.opensymphony.xwork2.validator.AnnotationActionValidator in buildAliasValidatorConfigs then tries to look for a file to load based on the config. This should be of the format ActionName-alias-validation.xml but if the struts configuration name is a wildcard mapping this will now be ActionName-alias*-validation.xml instead.
So in my example the action alias is newMessage but the ValidationInterceptor is passing in new* as the context and then the manager tries to look for a file called NewMessage-new*-validation.xml instead of NewMessage-newMessage-validation.xml and can't find it.
If I replace the validation interceptor with the struts 2.1.6 version then the validation works as expected.
