--- Comment #6 from Konstantin Kolinko <knst.koli...@gmail.com> --- Ah, I think that I see now. The problem is that ScopedAttributeELResolver calls context.setPropertyResolved(base, property) regardless of whether the property actually exists. I think that one reason for that behaviour is to avoid an error to be thrown by EL for such expressions as ${undefinedFoo}. So a possible theoretical alternative fix could be the following two changes: 1. Change ScopedAttributeELResolver to do not set "propertyResolved" flag if the property does not exist, I mean if pageContext.findAttribute(key) returned null. 2. Change EL to treat unresolved identifier as having the value of null instead of raising an error. Given that both this theoretical fix and the actual fix in r1636063 are changing the implementation of ScopedAttributeELResolver, I think the actual fix in r1636063 wins as being less intrusive. It does not need change at EL side. So Ack for the current fiz. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
