Lukasz Lenart commented on WW-4171:
-----------------------------------

But thus means {{ParametersInterceptor}} must read structure of properties from 
action/model first - evaluate model - right now we pass {{root}}, {{property}} 
and {{value}} to OGNL to do the trick.
                
> getText methods are not documented as evaluating OGNL

> The methods below evaluate OGNL as their first parameter. However they are 
> not documented as evaluating OGNL. We have observed this occurring in one 
> project and are contacting the affected vendors.
> com.opensymphony.xwork2.TextProviderSupport.getText(String, String[])
> com.opensymphony.xwork2.TextProviderSupport.getText(String, List<?>)
> com.opensymphony.xwork2.TextProviderSupport.getText(String)
> These methods are then used by ActionSupport (via its getText methods). None 
> of these methods are documented as evaluating OGNL either.
> This issue is recommending that all of these methods are documented as 
> evaluating OGNL since this may come as a surprise to some developers.
