Lukasz Lenart fd87425863 fix(spring): WW-3647 change autowire alwaysRespect default to true (#1571)
Change the default value of struts.objectFactory.spring.autoWire.alwaysRespect
from false to true to fix the Spring constructor autowiring issue.

When a Spring String bean exists (e.g., JNDI lookup with default-value),
Spring's AUTOWIRE_CONSTRUCTOR strategy incorrectly injects that value into
ALL String parameters of ServletActionRedirectResult constructors, causing
malformed redirect URLs.

Setting alwaysRespect to true by default ensures the configured autowire
strategy (AUTOWIRE_BY_NAME) is consistently used, preventing unintended
bean injection.

Users who rely on the legacy constructor autowiring behavior can restore
it by setting:
<constant name="struts.objectFactory.spring.autoWire.alwaysRespect" value="false" />
