> Sub-task of WW-5667. Residual items found while reviewing WW-5674, which 
> optimised {{isClassBelongsToPackages}} and {{toPackageName}} but deliberately 
> left these two call sites alone as out of scope.
> Both sit on the same per-access hot path WW-5674 just optimised, within 
> twenty lines of it, so leaving them is a visible inconsistency.
> h2. 1. {{checkDefaultPackageAccess}} makes four {{getPackage()}} calls
> {{SecurityMemberAccess.checkDefaultPackageAccess}} still calls 
> {{clazz.getPackage()}} directly, twice per class and for up to two classes:
> {code:java}
> if (memberClass.getPackage() == null || 
> memberClass.getPackage().getName().isEmpty()) {
> {code}
> {{Class.getPackage()}} resolves through the defining classloader's package 
> map on every call. WW-5674 removed exactly this lookup from {{toPackageName}} 
> by switching to the cached {{Class.getPackageName()}}, so this method is now 
> the only remaining user of the slow form.
> The condition is equivalent to {{toPackageName(memberClass).isEmpty()}} — 
> including for arrays and primitives, where both forms treat the class as 
> being in the default package and therefore block. Replacing it would also 
> collapse the double {{getPackage()}} evaluation per class.
> Note that this method only runs when {{struts.disallowDefaultPackageAccess}} 
> is enabled, so the impact is limited to deployments that turn it on.
> h2. 2. {{isExcludedPackageNamePatterns}} recomputes the package name per 
> pattern
> {code:java}
> protected boolean isExcludedPackageNamePatterns(Class clazz) {
>     return excludedPackageNamePatterns.stream().anyMatch(pattern -> 
> pattern.matcher(toPackageName(clazz)).matches());
> }
> {code}
> {{toPackageName(clazz)}} is evaluated inside the lambda, so it runs once per 
> pattern rather than once per call. Hoisting it out of the stream is a 
> one-line change.
> The call is cheaper after WW-5674, but it is still N redundant calls. 
> {{struts.excludedPackageNamePatterns}} is empty by default (both pattern 
> constants are commented out in {{struts-excluded-classes.xml}}), so this only 
> affects deployments that configure it.
> h2. Constraints
> This is the OGNL security gate. Both changes must be behaviour-preserving, 
> and the equivalence of {{getPackage() == null || 
> getPackage().getName().isEmpty()}} with {{toPackageName(...).isEmpty()}} must 
> be asserted by test rather than argued — in particular for arrays, 
> primitives, {{void}} and default-package classes.
> {{SecurityMemberAccessPackageMatchingTest}} already provides the class-shape 
> matrix and the frozen {{legacyToPackageName}} reference oracle to build on.
> h2. Related
> {{ConfigParseUtil.validatePackageNames}} evaluating 
> {{Pattern.compile("\\s")}} once per package name rather than once overall is 
> a per-instantiation cost, not a per-access one, and is tracked on WW-5675 
> instead.
