+<p>A custom handler that implements only <code class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">ContentTypeHandler</code> is deserialized into a fresh
instance of the action or
+model, and only authorized properties are copied back. Since Struts 7.5.0 that
copy skips a property whose value is
+null or equal to the constructor default of a fresh instance, so values bound
by <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">params</code> or loaded
in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">prepare()</code>
+survive a body that omits them (<a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5790";>WW-5790</a>). Two
consequences: a body
+value equal to the constructor default is not applied over a differing
existing value, and the constructor of the
+target runs twice per request on this path. Implement <code
class="language-plaintext
highlighter-rouge">AuthorizationAwareContentTypeHandler</code> to get exact
semantics.</p>
