+<p>Request parameters, such as those submitted by a form, can be stored on 
your Struts Action class by defining getters and
+setters for them. For example, if you have a form with a field called <code 
class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">name</code>, you can store the 
value of that field by
+defining a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">public void 
setName(String name)</code> method on your Action class, and then importantly, 
annotating this method
+with <code class="language-plaintext 
highlighter-rouge">@StrutsParameter</code>. The presence of this annotation 
indicates that the method is intended for parameter injection
+and is safe to be invoked by any user who can view the Action.</p>

+
+<p>If you wish to populate a DTO (Data Transfer Object) instead of setting the 
parameters directly on the Action class, you
+can define a getter for the DTO on your Action class instead. For example, 
define a method <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">public MyDto 
getFormData()</code>
+which is also annotated by <code class="language-plaintext 
highlighter-rouge">@StrutsParameter(depth = 1)</code>. Then, a parameter with 
name <code class="language-plaintext 
highlighter-rouge">formData.fullName</code> will be mapped
+to the setter <code class="language-plaintext 
highlighter-rouge">setFullName</code> on that DTO. Note that the <code 
class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">@StrutsParameter</code> annotation 
has a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">depth</code> field 
which dictates
+the depth to which parameter injection is permitted. The default value is 0, 
which only allows setting parameters
+directly on the Action class as in the first example. A <code 
class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">depth</code> of 1 indicates that 
the immediate public properties of
+an object returned by the getter are permitted to be set. If you have further 
nested objects, you can increase
+the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">depth</code> 
accordingly. Do not set this <code class="language-plaintext

required for your use case.</p>

+<p>It is critical that any method you annotate with <code 
class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">@StrutsParameter</code> is safe 
for any user who can view that corresponding
+action to invoke (including any public methods on objects returned by that 
method and so forth). Any getters you
+annotate should only ever return a DTO or a collection/hierarchy of DTOs. Do 
NOT mix business logic or service
+references with your parameter injection methods and DTOs. Additionally, any 
database DTOs should be entirely separate
+from request parameter/form DTOs.</p>
+
+<p>Do NOT, under any circumstance, annotate a method that returns one of the 
following unsafe objects:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>live Hibernate persistent objects</li>
+  <li>container or Spring-managed beans, or any other live 
components/services</li>
+  <li>objects (or objects that contain references to objects) that contain 
setter methods that are used for anything other
+than setting form parameter values</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If you are finding updating your application with this new annotation 
time-consuming, you can temporarily combine the
+above option with <code class="language-plaintext 
highlighter-rouge">struts.parameters.requireAnnotations.transitionMode=true</code>.
 When this mode is enabled, only ‘nested’
+parameters, i.e. DTOs or Collections represented by public getters on Action 
classes, will require annotations. This
+means public setters will still be exposed for parameter injection. Notably,
+the <a href="#allowlist-capability">auto-allowlisting capability</a>, which is 
also supported by these annotations, is not degraded
+in any way, so it proves a useful transitioning option for applications that 
wish to enable the OGNL allowlist as soon
