> Key: WW-5029
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5029
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: XML Configuration
> Affects Versions: 2.5.18
> Reporter: Maxime Clement
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.5.21, 2.6
>
>
> Under WebSphere 8.5, the SAX parser sometimes create multiple text elements
> to represent the value of the "allowed-methods" tag found in the struts.xml
> configuration file. This happens when the text is read in chunks as stated
> here:
> [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html#characters-char:A-int-int-].
> This case is not handled in class XmlConfigurationProvider, which only reads
> the first child of the org.w3c.dom.Node returned by the parser (see
> [https://github.com/apache/struts/blob/struts-2-5-x/core/src/main/java/com/opensymphony/xwork2/config/providers/XmlConfigurationProvider.java#L879]).
>
> This means that with this configuration:
> {code:java}
> <allowed-methods>method1,method2</allowed-methods>
> {code}
> The node instance almost always contains a single child [ "method1,method2"
> ], but randomly the node instance can contain two children: [ "method1,me",
> "thod2" ]. As only the first child is considered, the retrieved text is
> truncated and the configuration doesn't work.
>
> It happens randomly and cannot be reproduced easily, but we can see in the
> XmlConfigurationProvider class that this case has been taken into account for
> the "result" tag:
> {code:java}
> <result>something</result>
> {code}
> See:
> [https://github.com/apache/struts/blob/struts-2-5-x/core/src/main/java/com/opensymphony/xwork2/config/providers/XmlConfigurationProvider.java#L767]
> where all node children of type Node.TEXT_NODE are concatenated to retrieve
> the text value, so even if the SAX parser returns multiple chunks, the word
> is correctly reconstructed.
>
> As a workaround I created a custom configuration provider that overrides
> StrutsXmlConfigurationProvider and redefines the method "buildAllowedMethods"
> in order to parse all children of the node object, as done in method
> "buildResults". Note that the same problem applies for
> "global-allowed-methods" as the XmlConfigurationProvider also considers the
> first child only.
