After installing Struts 2.3.4, it appears that dynamic attributes must be strings now?
I've modified text.ftl in my custom theme like this (diff output): 23c23 < <input type="${parameters.type?default("text")}"<#rt/> --- > <input type="text"<#rt/> 46,54d45 < <#if parameters.required?default(false)> < required="true"<#rt/> < </#if> < <#if parameters.autofocus?default(false)> < autofocus="autofocus"<#rt/> < </#if> < <#if parameters.pattern?? > < pattern="${parameters.pattern?html}"<#rt/> < </#if> 62c53 < /> So that I can use dynamic attributes / HTML5 goodness like this: <@s.text type="email" key="user.email" required=true autofocus=true /> But now Struts 2.3.4 blows up with this message: Method public java.lang.String org.apache.struts2.util.StrutsUtil.translateVariables(java.lang.String) threw an exception when invoked on org.apache.struts2.util.StrutsUtil@540948a7 The problematic instruction: ---------- ==> assignment: value=struts.translateVariables(keyValue)!keyValue [on line 27, column 3 in /themes/simple/dynamic-attributes.ftl] in include "/${parameters.templateDir}/simple/dynamic-attributes.ftl" [on line 52, column 1 in /themes/simple/text.ftl] in include "/${parameters.templateDir}/simple/text.ftl" [on line 25, column 1 in /themes/my-custom-theme/text.ftl] ---------- I made sure to update my simple theme, perhaps I missed some template files? Can anyone help?
