All,

This issue is very bizarre and VERY interesting indeed.

I run 2 "identical" TestNG tests in a unit test - back to back - and the 1st fails and the 2nd succeeds:
   @DataProvider(name = "userIssueRequests")
   public Object[][] userIssueRequests() {
       return new Object[][] {
* { ShareActionBean.class, "en_US", "/share/3gi/_/edit", "/share/3gi/_/view" }, { ShareActionBean.class, "en_US", "/share/3gi/_/edit", "/share/3gi/_/view" },*
       };
   }

ShareActionBean has the following URL binding:
@UrlBinding("/share/{uuidRadix}/{titleUrlified}/{$event}")

And the following default handler:
   @DefaultHandler
   @DontValidate
   public final Resolution view() {
       return (super.view(VIEW));
   }

The test involves the following (relevant) code:
MockRoundtrip trip = new MockRoundtrip(context, actionBeanUrl, new MockHttpSession(context));
       trip.execute();
       ShareActionBean bean = *trip.getActionBean(ShareActionBean.class);*

In BOTH cases the ShareActionBean is created and the "edit" handler (as per URL) is invoked. All is well... so far...

However, In the 1st run *bean* is NULL and in the 2nd run *bean* returns the action bean that handled the request... HUH????

So, I did some debugging... if we drill down into trip.getActionBean(...) we find the following method:
   public <A extends ActionBean> A getActionBean(Class<A> type) {
* A bean = (A) this.request.getAttribute(getUrlBinding(type, this.context));*
       if (bean == null) {
bean = (A) this.request.getSession().getAttribute(getUrlBinding(type, this.context));
       }
       return bean;
   }

Here is where it gets REALLY interesting - if we simply focus on the 1st line of the method call: * A bean = (A) this.request.getAttribute(getUrlBinding(type, this.context));*

We find that *getUrlBinding(type, this.context)* returns the following as the key to the outer method call:
/share/{uuidRadix}/{titleUrlified}/{$event=view}

And in the 1st run *this.request.getAttribute(...) * has a map that contains:

__stripes_resolved_action=*/share/{uuidRadix}/{titleUrlified}/{$event}*,
*/share/{uuidRadix}/{titleUrlified}/{$event}*=org.lightagents.ui.web.action.content.ShareActionBean@10fd9d27, actionBean=org.lightagents.ui.web.action.content.ShareActionBean@10fd9d27, __current_flash_scope=-1806527276, _stripes_defaultMessages=[org.lightagents.ui.stripes.extended.LocalizableMessageWarning@779dc644]}

whereas in the 2nd run * this.request.getAttribute(...) * has a map that contains:

__stripes_resolved_action=*/share/{uuidRadix}/{titleUrlified}/{$event=view}*, */share/{uuidRadix}/{titleUrlified}/{$event=view}*=org.lightagents.ui.web.action.content.ShareActionBean@44dd7637, actionBean=org.lightagents.ui.web.action.content.ShareActionBean@44dd7637, __current_flash_scope=-624278302, _stripes_defaultMessages=[org.lightagents.ui.stripes.extended.LocalizableMessageWarning@779dc644]}

How can Stripes produce 2 different URL bindings for the same ActionBean in the same run????

This behaviour is not only odd but worrisome if there is a bug at work here that may affect non-Test code.


Now what is more interesting is that the ShareActionBean is setup with the Application logic such that if user is trying to change a Share that they do not have access to that they are redirected to the default handler with a message i.e.:
/share/3gi/_/view?__fsk=-1806527276


So we have the following things happening:

(A) Stripes UrlBinding's are determined when Stripes fires up and receives an initial request. At this point the ShareActionBean is referenced to have cached UrlBinding of:
/share/{uuidRadix}/{titleUrlified}/{$event}

(B) Run #1 - we test the request to *"/share/3gi/_/edit" *and the ShareActionBean "edit" event handler redirects to* "/share"* with params *"3gi"* and *"_"* and as such no explicitly specified "event" handler so the default one should be determined by Stripes.

But that causes UrlBindingParameter.getDefaultValue() to execute to determine that the "event" value for this action bean is the @DefaultHandler method "view" At this point though this changes the UrlBinding component for ShareActionBean to have "event" with defaultValue = "view" and moreover the ShareActionBean cached UrlBinding from this point forward is:
/share/{uuidRadix}/{titleUrlified}/{$event=view}

(C) However when the trip.getActionBean(...) method fires a lookup for the request attribute the key it got initially is used:
/share/{uuidRadix}/{titleUrlified}/{$event}

And of course this fails and no ActionBean is returned b/c this no longer maps to any cached UrlBinding.

(D) When Run #2 comes along and does the same thing the same thing occurs as in Run #1 except from the start this time though the cached UrlBinding is:
/share/{uuidRadix}/{titleUrlified}/{$event=view}

And nothing changes and all is well in that the trip.getActionBean(...) method return the ShareActionBean instance


So it appears that as long as an explicit "event" parameter is supplied the getDefaultValue() method will not get called on the "event" UrlBindingParameter and until then the binding of the ActionBean will not have the default value embedded in it for "event" but once a default event URL is produced that bindings will appear differently.

Shouldn't Stripes ensure from the get-go try to trigger the getDefaultValue() for "event" to have it incorporated in the UrlBinding cached????

What a ride!!!!

UrlBindingParameter.java:
   public String getDefaultValue() {
// for $event parameters with no explicit default value, get default from action resolver if (this.defaultValue == null && PARAMETER_NAME_EVENT.equals(name)) {
           try {
Method defaultHandler = StripesFilter.getConfiguration().getActionResolver()
                       .getDefaultHandler(beanClass);
HandlesEvent annotation = defaultHandler.getAnnotation(HandlesEvent.class);
               if (annotation != null)
                   this.defaultValue = annotation.value();
               else
                   this.defaultValue = defaultHandler.getName();
           }
           catch (Exception e) {
               /* Ignore any exceptions and just return null. */
           }
       }

       return defaultValue;
   }
