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.

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.
