@SkipValidation not found on superclass method
----------------------------------------------
Key: WW-2587
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2587
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Interceptors
Reporter: Brad Cupit
The SkipValidation annotation is a great addition, and it worked well for me,
until I used Spring to create CGLIB proxies for my Actions. CGLIB creates a
class which extends my Action class, and the SkipValidation annotation isn't
found on the CGLIB-generated proxy.
Admittedly, this is more of a problem with CGLIB, than with Struts2, however if
@SkipValidation were allowed on methods in interfaces or superclasses, my
problem would be solved.
Unfortunately, the validation annotations (like @RequiredStringValidator), are
found on super classes. So the net effect is that my SkipValidation annotation
is not found, but the validation annotations are, so validation is occurring on
GETs instead of just the POSTs (note: I have an Action with two entry points: a
show() method and a submit() method and show() has @SkipValidation).
Workaround:
use one action per url and then only always validate
Ideally, the AnnotationValidationInterceptor#doIntercept(ActionInvocation)
method would check for the SkipValidation annotation on the method being
overridden. This would not only fix the CGLIB-proxy issue, but would also allow
SkipValidation to be used on interfaces and superclasses.
