RequestUtils.computeURL should use the session associated with the request to control 
URL rewriting

           Summary: RequestUtils.computeURL should use the session
                    associated with the request to control URL rewriting
           Product: Struts
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Utilities

The RequestUtils.computeURL method uses the existence of a session associated
with the current page context to determine if URL rewriting should occur. Since
it's possible for pageContext.getSession() to return null when
((HttpServletRequest)pageContext.getRequest()).getSession(false) returns a valid
session, it seems like the method could fail to rewrite when it should. The
situation can occur when a JSP page uses <%@ page session="false" %> but a valid
session actually exists.

I can't create a patch right now, bit I will later if it's not already
addressed. Here's the current state:

RequestUtils.computeURL / Revision: 1.90 / Line 550

// Perform URL rewriting to include our session ID (if any)
if (pageContext.getSession() != null) {
  HttpServletResponse response =
                               (HttpServletResponse) pageContext.getResponse();
  if (redirect) {
    return (response.encodeRedirectURL(url.toString()));
  } else {
    return (response.encodeURL(url.toString()));
  }
} else {
  return (url.toString());
}

Proposed change:

// Perform URL rewriting to include our session ID (if any)
if (request.getSession(false) != null) {
  HttpServletResponse response =
                               (HttpServletResponse) pageContext.getResponse();
  if (redirect) {
    return (response.encodeRedirectURL(url.toString()));
  } else {
    return (response.encodeURL(url.toString()));
  }
} else {
  return (url.toString());
}
