Hi,
first off: Sorry for the rude subject, this is meant to be catchy in
order to gain as much feedback as possible.
We are using Struts2 more and more in our large and nontrivial
application. I'd like to once again raise attention to a phenomenon that
has already been complained about by various users, namely the problem
that Struts2 is *way* too gracefull when it determines values for OGNL
expressions. The standard suggested remedy for this is to enable
devMode. However, this causes far too much noise on the Java console and
has lots of other side effects such as for example cleaning resource
bundle caches and everything during each page access, so i'd like to not
be forced to use this option.
To make the issue clear, let's use a simple example. Consider the
following usage of the property custom tag:
<s:property value="myValue"/>
As you all know, this is supposed to yield a call to the "getMyValue()"
method of the action class that is running behind the JSP.
What i like to have is plain and simple: A runtime exception of whatever
kind should be thrown out (i.e. fall through to the servlet container)
if the corresponding method was not found. This would greatly simplify
the developer's life. Currently, S2 leniently yields the empty string,
which is (kind of) ok in a production environment, but is not so good
during development. Smart developers of course set a breakpoint
somewhere in the getMyValue() method and notice that the method is not
called, but this can have many other reasons than a simple typo in the
OGNL expression.
Are there any plans in a (current or) future version of Struts2 to
enable such a behavior?
Regards,
Robert
