I have tested this and looks OK.
.....I have an action that implements HttpParametersAware so I can use the
properties from the request eg:
public void setParameters(HttpParameters parameters) {
this.params = parameters.toMap();
}
private String getParameter(String key) {
String[] p = (String[]) this.params.get(key);
if (p != null && p.length > 0) {
return p[0];
}
return null;
}
In my db, I have a properties file with key=site.description, value='
My Site Description.'
On my config form, I have a field with the name of site.description which
is a key and is a string (ie not getSite().getDescription()) eg:
<input id="config_site_description" type="text" value="My Site Description."
size="35" name="site.description">
When I submit the form com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.ValueStack#setValue(..)
tries to evaluate it to the bean.property rather than the string and throws
an exception. In DEV mode I get messages like:
Error setting expression 'site.description' with value 'My Site Description.
'
I get a whole load of these as its my main config page, one for every
config value.
I guess there is no way to suppress these messages in dev mode?
Cheers
