Mitth'raw'nuruodo commented on WW-4849:
---------------------------------------
[~aleksandr-m] I'm not sure how much of your previous comment was directed at
me vs Lukasz...however:
"Required objects should be injected in the constructor" - this is difficult
for any custom ObjectFactory to do, given that it [has to have a no-arg
constructor|https://struts.apache.org/docs/objectfactory.html] and then has to
immediately pass a Container to its superclass constructor.
"Have you tested it with some non default object factory e.g. spring?" - my
pull request includes unit testing. As far as I can see, it will accept the
first Container that gets injected, either via constructor or setter, and will
then ignore further injection attempts.
Note that the {{SpringObjectFactory}} is *not compliant* with the documentation
about custom object factories at
https://struts.apache.org/docs/objectfactory.html, since it lacks a no-arg
constructor.

> Key: WW-4849
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4849
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.5.13
> Reporter: Mitth'raw'nuruodo
> Fix For: 2.5.14
>
>
> Commit {{6f91d0776a545c911ca4f2875ed9976614711ef9}} changed the signature of
> the {{ObjectFactory}} constructor, breaking all classes that extend
> {{ObjectFactory}} (as per https://struts.apache.org/docs/objectfactory.html).
> This affects eg the [{{guice-servlet}} Struts plugin|
> https://github.com/google/guice/blob/master/extensions/struts2/src/com/google/inject/struts2/Struts2Factory.java].
> This was not listed on the [2.5.13 version
> notes|https://struts.apache.org/docs/version-notes-2513.html] as a breaking
> change, and breaking changes should preferably be avoided in critical
> security updates.
