Disable static method access in OGNL expressions by default
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WW-2160
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2160
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Value Stack
    Affects Versions: 2.0.9
            Reporter: Don Brown
             Fix For: 2.0.10


Currently, it is possible to call any static method in OGNL expressions.  
Unfortunately, there have been several recent cases where Struts allowed a user 
to execute any OGNL expression, and combined with the ability to call static 
methods, these security issues have been severe.

First, Struts needs to provide the ability for a user to turn off or on static 
method access.  Second, this feature should be disabled by default as a 
security precaution.
