http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17728 EvalHelper should not throw NullAttributeException, it's too slow Summary: EvalHelper should not throw NullAttributeException, it's too slow Product: Struts Version: 1.1 RC1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Custom Tags AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] NullAttributeException invokes the standard taglibs Resource.getMessage routine for the exception message. This is uneeded overhead since the message is never displayed to an end-user and only used to fill in default values on the extended el tags. Since many tags have optional attributes, the EvalUtil will throw many NullAttributeExceptions. Inserting tags in a loop will generate hundreds of these exceptions in a single page creating lag for 1 page easily between 5-20 sec. You could throw a different exception that had a simple string that did not have to be calculated which would be faster, but this would also generate a lot of objects to be garbage collected also slowing the system. Consider either returning null and letting the calling function take appropriate action, or convienience functions that return a default value that can be passed into the function when the expression evaluates to null. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
