Vitor Souza commented on WW-1495:
---------------------------------

I tried adding these comments to the attachment, but for some reason it didn't 
work. So the purpose of this comment is to present the attachments:

* OgnlIssue.war: packaged Web Application that demonstrates the issue. After 
deploying, assuming the server is at localhost:8080, open the URL 
http://localhost:8080/OgnlIssue/manageEmployee/home.action. Select some 
checkboxes and click Delete to get the ClassCastException.

* OgnlIssue.zip: the source code of the application.

* OgnlRuntime.java: source code of class ognl.OgnlRuntime taken from OGNL 
2.6.9. It is hacked to circumvent the ClassCastException. The changes are 
described here:

> Some actions that use Generics make OGNL throw ClassCastException

>          Components: Actions, Expression Language
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.1
>         Environment: Kubuntu Linux 6.06 and 6.10 running Eclipse 3.2 with Web 
> Tools with an Apache Tomcat 5.5 integrated into the IDE.

> When the action class extends a class that uses generics (e.g. public class 
> ManageEmployeeAction extends CrudAction<Employee, Long> { }) and data is sent 
> from the web page (using Struts Forms built by the tag library) to be set in 
> a property from the class that is inherited from the superclass and defined 
> as generic (e.g., protected I[] ids;), OGNL cannot determine the type of the 
> property, falls back to String[] and throws a ClassCastException.
> This issue has been further discussed in the forum: 
> http://forums.opensymphony.com/thread.jspa?threadID=48752. Attachments are 
> provided to illustrate the issue and propose a starting point for the fix. 
> However, it should NOT be considered a patch, since the creator of this 
> "hack" doesn't have enough knowledge of OGNL and Generics to assure its 
> general correctness.
