I recently upgraded to Struts 2.3.16.3 i.e the latest version of the release from 2.3.15.1
Now my submit buttons have stopped working when I use -
<s:submit align="center" action='Login_loginUser' value="Login"/>
My action mapping are as below -
<action name="Login_*" method="{1}" class="com.XXXX.XXXX.XXX.LoginAction">
<result name="input" type="tiles">login.tiles</result>
<result name="success">/jsp/common/success.jsp</result>
</action>
My struts.xml is as below -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.3//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.3.dtd">

<constant name="struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation" value="true"/>
<constant name="struts.action.extension" value="action"/>
<include file="com/emsproject/system/sysconfig/login.xml"/>
</struts>
My web.xml is as below -

I tried the exclude parameter change as mentioned in the release notes, but nothing seems to work.
If I change the s:submit to HTML input type button & call the action from the javascript as below -
function callLogin(){
document.getElementById('sysForm').target="_self";
document.getElementById('sysForm').action='/coms/common/Login_loginUser.action';
document.getElementById('sysForm').submit();
}
This works fine but it would be a huge change throughout the application :(.
Not sure why the action mappings are not resolved in this version as everything works fine in Struts 2.3.15.1.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
