Kyle Braak created WW-3866:
------------------------------

             Summary: Map with String key that contains a non-word character 
prevents value from being saved
                 Key: WW-3866
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3866
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: struts2 version 2.2.1 (which uses OGNL 3.0)
freemarker version 2.3.19
            Reporter: Kyle Braak


I'm not entirely sure if my problem is Struts2 or OGNL related. So that you are 
aware, I have already created this issue in OGNL: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OGNL-221

In any case, I would greatly appreciate you reading it through. My issue in its 
entirety again is as follows:

I have written a very simple Action, and freemaker template so that you can 
replicate my problem. 

My Action is as follows: 

{code:title=TestAction.java|borderStyle=solid}
public class TestAction extends BaseAction {
  private Map<String, String> tmap = new TreeMap<String, String>();

  @Override
  public void prepare() throws Exception {
    super.prepare();
    tmap.put("Animalia", "");
    tmap.put("Ani_malia", "");
    tmap.put("Ani:malia", "");
    tmap.put("Ani-malia", "");
    tmap.put("Ani%malia", "");
    tmap.put("Ani+malia", "");
  }

  @Override
  public String execute() {
    return SUCCESS;
  }

  public Map<String, String> getTmap() {
    return tmap;
  }
}
{code} 

It prepares a TreeMap with some entries having only a String key, and an empty 
String value. 

The following freemarker template displays the keys, and allows the user to 
save a new value for each one:

{code:title=test.ftl|borderStyle=solid}
<form action="test.do" method="post">
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Key</td>
    <td>Value</td>
  </tr>
  <#list tmap?keys as k>
  <tr>
    <td>${k}</td>
    <td><input type="text" name="tmap['${k}']" value="${tmap.get(k)!}"/></td>
  </tr>
</#list>
</table>
<div>
  <@s.submit name="save"/>
</div>
</form>
{code} 

Unfortunately, after entering new values for each key and submitting the form, 
the only keys that have values successfully saved are: 

Animalia
Ani_malia

The following keys do NOT have values successfully saved:

Ani:malia
Ani-malia
Ani%malia
Ani+malia

Indeed the presence of such non-word characters breaks the OGNL parsing of the 
Map's String key. 

To be sure no unwanted interception is occurring, I am using the most basic 
struts.xml configuration: 

{code:xml} 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts 
Configuration 2.0//EN"
  "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd";>

<struts>
  <package name="ipt-default" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">

    <result-types>
      <result-type name="freemarker" 
class="org.apache.struts2.views.freemarker.FreemarkerResult" default="true"/>
    </result-types>

    <action name="test" class="org.gbif.ipt.action.portal.TestAction">
      <result>/WEB-INF/pages/portal/test.ftl</result>
    </action>

  </package>
</struts>
{code} 

Thank you very much for your help. 

With kind regards
