ASF subversion and git services commented on WW-5022: ----------------------------------------------------- Commit 7b450c4aaf29d412ac1ee656fad9bec0d03af0cf in struts-site's branch refs/heads/master from Lukasz Lenart [ https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=struts-site.git;h=7b450c4 ] WW-5022 Adds note about escapeHtmlBody attribute > Struts 2.6 escaping behaviour change for s:a (anchor) tag > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: WW-5022 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-5022 > Project: Struts 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 2.6 > Environment: Tomcat 7.0, 8.5 using Java 8 and 11. > Reporter: James Chaplin > Assignee: Lukasz Lenart > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.6 > > Time Spent: 2h > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > While interacting with the current 2.6 Showcase application I recently > noticed that+ the "Home" glyph icon was not displaying correctly+. Instead > of the icon, +the page displayed the body content literally in the browser+. > Checking the page source (view source in browser) it turns out the body > content of the tag was HTML-escaped. I double-checked and this does not > happen to Struts 2.5.21 (snapshot) or older 2.6 Showcase apps. > This behaviour might affect other tags, but +it was noticed and confirmed > with "s:a"+ (the JSP anchor tag). > After some digging (using older commits from GitHub and building the 2.6 > Showcase app from them) it appears the automatic body escaping did not occur > prior to January 2nd 2019, but was introduced with one of the multiple > commits applied on January 3rd 2019. > It could be an interaction between earlier mid-December 2018 commits that > changed the Freemarker configuration version in FreemarkerManager > (Configuration.VERSION_2_3_0) to a new one (Configuration.VERSION_2_3_28), > combined with the January 3rd commits. Couldn't find the exact cause, but > perhaps one of the Struts Team might be able to do so. > Given the original/old behaviour +it seems that auto-escaping the tag body > might be a bug+. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
