[s2] redirect and URLEncoding

[Alex Funk]

Hi,

I am building a web application with Struts2 and Tomcat 5.5 as the web 
container. One action parameter is passed as part of the URL and may

contain Unicode characters:
action name=article/* class=...
   param name=title{1}/param
   result/ShowArticle.jsp/result
/action

The s:url tag encodes this parameter as UTF-8, and I declared in my 
tomcat server.xml the matching encoding

Connector URIEncoding=UTF-8 ... port=8081 /

So far, so good. Everything works fine. Trouble starts when I use 
redirect results or redirect-action result with Unicode characters in 
the title part of the url:


action name=editarticle/* class=...
   param name=title{1}/param
   result name=save type=redirectarticle/${title}/result
   ...
/action

Than the redirect URL is encoded in ISO-8859-1, which is than 
misinterpreted as UTF-8 when send back to tomcat. While debugging I 
think this encoding is done in HTTPServletResponse#sendRedirect by default.


I can workaround that by introducing a new attribute to my action class:

public String getTitleURLEncoded() throws Exception {
  return URLEncoder.encode(getTitle(), UTF-8);
}

and change the result to

result name=save type=redirectarticle/${titleURLEncoded}/result

This works, but it 'feels' wrong. Is there some other solution to this? 
Any input is welcome.


Best regards, Alex

root may refer to the root of the OGNL stack, but I
can't verify that at the moment. You could probably
test that theory, though.

Thanks for the reply, Dave.

Yes, s:property value=#root/ returns the value stack. But I wonder 
how and why this is blocking the entire namespace starting with 'root'.
If I use 'request' as the iterator status, everything works as I would 
expect:

s:iterator status=request value={1,2} 
   #request.index = s:property value=#request.index /
   br/
/s:iterator

Well, as soon as one knows it, one can work around it. I am quite new to 
Struts2 and not sure if this is some sort of misconfiguration on my 
side. If anyone else can reproduce this, I would report this as a bug in 
Jira, or at least leave a comment on 
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/iterator


Thanks again,

Alex

'root' is not allowed as status in s:iterator?

[Alex Funk]

Hi,

after some debugging I found that I can't use any identifier starting 
with 'root' as status in s:iterator. The following code in my jsp:

---
p
s:iterator status=stat value={1,2,3,4,5} 
   #stat.index = s:property value=#stat.index /br/
/s:iterator
/pp
s:iterator status=root value={1,2,3,4,5} 
   #root.index =s:property value=#root.index /br/
/s:iterator
/pp
s:iterator status=rootAtTheBeginOfIdentifier value={1,2,3,4,5} 
   #rootAtTheBeginOfIdentifier.index =s:property 
value=#rootAtTheBeginOfIdentifier.index / br/

/s:iterator
/p
---
gives this result:
#stat.index = 0
#stat.index = 1
#stat.index = 2
#stat.index = 3
#stat.index = 4

#root.index =
#root.index =
#root.index =
#root.index =
#root.index =

#rootAtTheBeginOfIdentifier.index =
#rootAtTheBeginOfIdentifier.index =
#rootAtTheBeginOfIdentifier.index =
#rootAtTheBeginOfIdentifier.index =
#rootAtTheBeginOfIdentifier.index =
--

Can someone reproduce this? Is this a bug or a feature?

Best regards,

Alex
