James Holmes reopened WW-2732: ------------------------------ Re-opening per original reporter. > <s:text name="key"/> OGNL-evaluates "key" when it is not found in resource > bundle > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: WW-2732 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2732 > Project: Struts 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Plugin - Tags, Value Stack > Affects Versions: 2.1.2 > Environment: Tested with 2.1.2, but the issue could have existed > earlier. > Reporter: Pierre Thibaudeau > Priority: Minor > Fix For: Future > > > <s:text name="key"/> outputs the resource message designated by "key". > If no such message exists (and the body of the tag is empty), it reverts to > outputting the name of the key itself, as an unevaluated string. At least, > that's the behaviour of the tag, as described in the documentation. > In fact, however, the name of the key is now being evaluated as an OGNL > expression, and if that turns out to be valid, that is what's printed. > This, in my view, is counter-intuitive and probably counter-productive. > Consider the case of a ModelDriven<Book> action exposing a Book-object to the > View. > Normally, > <s:text name="title"/>: ${title} > would have yielded: > title: The Great Gatsby > if the resource message "title" was missing from the resource bundle. That's > not too bad an outcome. However, with the key being OGNL-evaluated, we would > get the following output: > The Great Gatsby: The Great Gatsby > which I find a little puzzling... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
