Hi,
I'm using Struts 2.2.3 and have observed some bizarre behavior when
using Spring to provide my actions.. In order to simplify this and prove
the problem I have created a project with a single static html file, and
a single action in struts.xml which references a bean in my spring
context file.
What basically happens is that if I declare a bean in my spring context
(bean unrelated toany struts action) that is of class java.lang.String
(as I do for a log4j filepath) then when I perform a redirect in an
action mapping this gets appended to the end of the url as the anchor.
If I navigate to http://localhost:8080/My App/simpleRedirect
the result is a reirect to the 'simple' action but note the url struts
has redirected to:
http://localhost:8080/MyApp/simple#this%20is%20a%20java.lang.String%20bean%20in%20my%20spring%20context
For some reason the org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ServletRedirectResult
class is being instantiated by with the anchor and location constructor
args set to the value of my spring bean by the StrutsSpringObjectFactory
If I remove the String bean from the spring contect then the url behaves
as normal, redirecting to:
http://localhost:8080/MyApp/simple
Have been scratching my head trying to find where this behaviour is
happening but have run out of time.. is this a known issue?
