+## Legacy Tiles OGNL expressions
+
+The legacy Tiles `OGNL:` attribute-expression evaluator is deprecated in Struts 7.4.0 and disabled by default. Use
+`S2:` for expressions that should be evaluated against the Struts ValueStack, or use an ordinary Tiles mechanism.
+
+Applications that temporarily require the legacy raw evaluator can set the following Struts constant:
+
+```xml
+
+```
+
+Enabling the constant produces a startup warning. The compatibility constant is deprecated in Struts 7.4.0; both it
+and the legacy evaluator are targeted for removal in Struts 8.0.0.
