> Key: WW-2125
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2125
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Interceptors
> Affects Versions: 2.0.9
> Reporter: Kris Coolsaet
> Assignee: Don Brown
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> When an action is both SessionAware and ActionAware the
> ServletConfigInterceptor first calls setSession and then setApplication,
> while to me it seems more logical to do this the other way round.
> Consider the following use case: a common superclass CustomerAction is used
> for actions that do something with the 'current customer' which is stored in
> session context. Everytime an action like this is called, a customer object
> is automatically loaded from the session into a field of the action object
> (this is done during 'setSession' time), however, part of this operation is
> to check with the database whether some customer properties need to be
> updated. The database is stored as a data source (or Hibernate session
> factory) in the application context.
> Unfortunately, setApplication has not yet been called, hence the action
> cannot perform this check.
> Granted, there are several workarounds to this particular example: the
> database check could be done as part of the 'execute', or as part of a
> 'prepare', or the data source could be stored in a static variable,...
> I cannot think of a use case which would be broken by changing this order -
> why would setApplication possibly need information from the
> session?
