Saulius Tvarijonas created WW-4062:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Invalid OGNL expressions are not cached
Key: WW-4062
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4062
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Value Stack
Affects Versions: 2.3.14
Reporter: Saulius Tvarijonas
I am using velocity to render results page. During performance optimizations I
noticed significant memory usage from
*com.opensymphony.xwork2.ognl.OgnlUtil#compile*. There is caching implemented
in OgnlUtil, but if expression compilation fails, it is not cached.
I am not really sure if this problem is in struts or velocity engine. But
situation is following:
# In velocity template trying to render string *<p>$!foo</p>*
# If value is null, velocity calls
*org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node.ASTReference#getNullString*
# Internally there is call to *context.get(".literal." + nullString)*
# And this ".literal." expression always reaches *OgnlUtil#compile* and
compilation fails.
Below is stacktrace for more details:
