We too tried with the registering/deregistering of locale specific converters. 
Apart from the bad performance, this will also result in interference if the 
time of lookup that one session performs happens just after the registering of 
the other session's converters.
We are looking at the option of extending a few of the struts classes which are 
used in this flow with our own implementations to solve this. 
But I just wanted to know if later versions of struts are handling this issue 
or not. I will check with the commons guys regarding this.

We had the problem with the latest stable Struts release (I don't know
if S2 handles the issue). In our implementation, it was ok to stick to a
single converter - so we did not need a workaround. IMHO, the problem is
not Struts, but the static nature of beanutils. Maybe you can ask the
commons guys for a solution!? One possible workaround is to register
locale specific converters always before they are used - however, this
is quite ugly and should have a bad performance. Maybe you take a look
into the implementation and find another workaround.

Cheers,

Thorsten
