It could be a nice idea, but could be dangerous, it should be optionnal. I'm looking foward to getting the ognl version that adds a NullHandler. OGNL 2.6.4 ? Cheers.

Drew Davidson (Ognl dude) has already added a NullHandler at my request, we just haven't implemented it in XWork yet. Eventually, the idea is to be able to do this: Foo foo = new Foo(); assertNull(foo.getBar()); stack.setValue("foo.bar.name", "Shazam, bar is created"); System.out.println(foo.getBar().getName()); Output: Shazam, bar is created Basically, you wouldn't have to initialize the dependant resources if there is no-arg constructor. -Pat -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred Lamuette Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2003 10:13 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [OS-webwork] [OGNL] strange (?) behavior I know this problem is not obviously in the scope of this mailing list, but I'd like to know if I'm dreaming. public class Bar { private String name; ... } public class Foo { private Bar bar; ... } Executing Ognl.getValue("bar.name",foo) generates an exception when bar is null. It was not the expected result ... I expected to a null value. Maybe I am accustomed too much to BeanUtils from the Jakarta Project ... Cheers.
