public static String getText(String key,
    String defaultMessage,
    ValueStack stack) 
{
        return getText(key, defaultMessage, Collections.emptyList(), stack);
}

Get a message from the first TextProvider encountered in the stack. If the first TextProvider doesn't provide the message the default message is returned.

The search for a TextProvider is iterative from the root of the stack.

This method was refactored from org.apache.struts2.components.Text to use a consistent implementation across UIBean components.

        return getText(key, defaultMessage, args, stack, true);
}

Get a message from the first TextProvider encountered in the stack. If the first TextProvider doesn't provide the message the default message is returned.

The stack is searched if if no TextProvider is found, or the message is not found.
