Hello there, Let's go straight to the question: will Struts2 continue to use OGNL as WebWork used to? Does that mean that OGNL will continue to be developed?
Now to the long story... Sometime ago I posted a message at the OGNL forum. Here's the link: http://forums.opensymphony.com/thread.jspa?threadID=34624&tstart=0 The message talks about the fact that OGNL doesn't like generics. I created some utility classes that make heavy use of Generics and I use them all over the system, for instance: * Domain objects extend PersistentObject<Long, Long> (<id-class, version-column-class>); * A service class that perform CRUD operations on Measure objects extend CrudServiceSupport<Measure, Long>; * A WebWork action class that provides access to the CRUD services for Measure objects extend CrudAction<Measure, Long>. Using those generic classes makes OGNL throw a bunch of exceptions, stating that it could not convert the data sent to the Action to the correct type. After some investigation I narrowed the problem to the generics issue and hacked OgnlRuntime so it would work. This is documented at the post I mentioned before. Now I just ran into a new issue that is probably related: when sending data through ww:checkbox to be placed in a Long[] property of the Action class (which is defined as I[] - the generic type - in the superclass CrudAction), OGNL throws the exceptions again. You can see the full stack trace here: http://labes.inf.ufes.br/~vitor/ww_ognl_issue/cookbook.log If any of you would like to see the complete source code of my application, you can download it here: http://labes.inf.ufes.br/~vitor/ww_ognl_issue/Cookbook-src.zip. It's the complete Eclipse 3.2 project (using Web Tools), without the dependencies (which can be obtained using Ant + Ivy). The packaged WebApp (with all the JARs and everything) is also available if anyone wants to try and reproduce the error: http://labes.inf.ufes.br/~vitor/ww_ognl_issue/Cookbook.war. It's 12 MB, though. Why am I posting this message here? When I ran into the OGNL issue again, I considered porting this example application I made available (Cookbook) to Struts2 to see if it would solve the problem. But then I saw that Struts depends on OGNL just like WebWork did. In fact, it states it depends on OGNL 2.6.7 and the problem occurs with OGNL 2.6.9. Does that mean that the problem will also occur if I port the application to Struts2 or was something done about this? Thanks in advance for any replies, Vitor Souza --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.opensymphony.com/thread.jspa?threadID=48752&messageID=98283#98283 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
