org.apache.struts2.rest.DefaultHttpHeaders cannot be cast to java.lang.String

I get following Error when I try out the Detail View in the REST Showcase:

http://localhost:8080/struts2-rest-showcase/orders/3

org.apache.struts2.rest.DefaultHttpHeaders cannot be cast to java.lang.String

RequestURI=/struts2-rest-showcase/orders/3
Caused by:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.struts2.rest.DefaultHttpHeaders cannot be cast to java.lang.String

When I change the show() Method in the OrdersController I get it work.

from

    public HttpHeaders show() {
        return new DefaultHttpHeaders("show");
    }

to

    public String show() {
        return "show";
    }

Is this the right Solution? Does anyone knows why this Error happens in the current version of REST Showcase?

 

------

    this happens cause the RestActionProxyFactory uses the root ("/") as
default namespace and RestActionMapper maps this kind of action along
the empty ("") namespace.

if you try to insert the following xml code inside the struts
configuration file, it works.
<constant name="struts.rest.namespace" value=""/>
