Musachy Barroso commented on WW-2732:
-------------------------------------
Yes, you are right. Looking at the code(TextProviderHelper.getText), it seems
like this was the original intention. What happens if you use:
<s:text name="%{'tile'}" />
? I think that would have the effect that you expect, but I haven't tested it.
> <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...
