Re: [ANN] [SECURITY] Announcing CVE-2019-0230 (Possible RCE) and CVE-2019-0233 (DoS) security issues

[Rene Gielen]

In Java and Java EE, typical vectors for RCEs, injecting code to be
executed, include expressions where expression languages are supprted
(JUEL, SpEL or, in the case of Struts 2, OGNL) or serialization attacks.

Once the code is injected, it operates with the OS rights of the running
user (e.g. UID of Tomcat process) within the given limit of the JVM (is
the JVM security sandbox enabled or not? what is accesible on your
classloader?). Additional protections may apply, such as Struts adding
preventions for accessig certain classes or packages when OGNL
expressions are evaluated.

This has happended A LOT in the last 20 years, not only with Struts.

[ANN] [SECURITY] Announcing CVE-2019-0230 (Possible RCE) and CVE-2019-0233 (DoS) security issues

[Rene Gielen]

Two new Struts Security Bulletins have been issued for Struts 2 by the
Apache Struts Security Team: [1]

S2-059 - Forced double OGNL evaluation, when evaluated on raw user input
in tag attributes, may lead to remote code execution (CVE-2019-0230) [2]

S2-060 - Access permission override causing a Denial of Service when
performing a file upload (CVE-2019-0233) [3]

Both issues affect Apache Struts in the version range 2.0.0 - 2.5.20.
The current version 2.5.22, which was released in November 2019, is not
affected.

CVE-2019-0230 has been reported by Matthias Kaiser, Apple Information
Security. By design, Struts 2 allows developers to utilize forced double
evaluation for certain tag attributes. When used with unvalidated, user
modifiable input, malicious OGNL expressions may be injected. In an
ongoing effort, the Struts framework includes mitigations for limiting
the impact of injected expressions, but Struts before 2.5.22 left an
attack vector open which is addressed by this report. [2]

However, we continue to urge developers building upon Struts 2 to not
use %{...} syntax referencing unvalidated user modifiable input in tag
attributes, since this is the ultimate fix for this class of
vulnerabilities. [4]

CVE-2019-0233 has been reported by Takeshi Terada of Mitsui Bussan
Secure Directions, Inc. In Struts before 2.5.22, when a file upload is
performed to an Action that exposes the file with a getter, an attacker
may manipulate the request such that the working copy of the uploaded
file or even the container temporary upload directory may be set to
read-only access. As a result, subsequent actions on the file or file
uploads in general will fail with an error. [3]

Both issues are already fixed in Apache Struts 2.5.22, which was
released in November 2019.

We strongly recommend all users to upgrade to Struts 2.5.22, if this has
not been done already. [5][6]

The Apache Struts Security Team would like to thank the reporters for
their efforts and their practice of responsible disclosure, as well as
their help while investigating the report and coordinating public
disclosure.

[ANN] Launch of the 2020 ASF Community Survey

[Rene Gielen]

On behalf the ASF Diversity & Inclusion Committee:

Hello everyone,

If you have an apache.org email, you should have received an email with
an invitation to take the 2020 ASF Community Survey. Please take 15
minutes to complete it.

If you do not have an apache.org email address or you didn’t receive a
link, please follow this link to the survey:
https://communitysurvey.limequery.org/454363

This survey is important because it will provide us with scientific
information about our community, and shed some light on how we can
collaborate better and become more diverse. Our last survey of this kind
was implemented in 2016, which means that our existing data about Apache
communities is outdated. The deadline to complete the survey is January
4th, 2020. You can find information about privacy on the survey’s
Confluence page [1].

Your participation is paramount to the success of this project! Please
consider filling out the survey, and share this news with your fellow
Apache contributors. As individuals form the Apache community, your
opinion matters: we want to hear your voice.

If you have any questions about the survey or otherwise, please reach
out to us!

Kindly,
ASF Diversity & Inclusion
https://diversity.apache.org/

[ANN] [SECURITY] Corrected affected version ranges in historic Apache,Struts security bulletins and CVE entries

[Rene Gielen]

The Apache Struts Security Team would like to announce that a number of
historic Struts Security Bulletins [1] and related CVE database entries
contained incorrect affected release version ranges.

The issue was reported by Christopher Fearon and the Black Duck Research
Team within the Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center. The reporting
entity conducted thorough investigations on this matter, leading to a
report to the Apache Struts Security Team. The Apache Struts Security
Team worked with the reporters to cross-check said issues and map them
to affected Apache Struts General Availability (GA) releases.

This effort led to the issue of Struts Security Bulletin S2-058,
referencing 15 historic Struts Security Bulletins and respective CVE
entries [2] that have been updated to reflect corrections in affected GA
version ranges as well as minimum GA versions to contain appropriate
fixes for the issues at hand.

The full Security Bulletin can be found here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/S2-058

The Struts Security Team stresses that while the reporters reference
more affected issues and resulting affected version ranges, the Struts
Security Bulletins only cover GA versions designated for production use.
This led to less corrected Security Bulletins and CVE entries [2]
compared to the number of covered issues in the original report.

It is very important to understand that while the individual listed
bulletins contain updated minimum fix versions, it is strongly
recommended to update to the versions recommended by the latest Security
Bulletin, which is S2-057 [3] by the time of this announcement.
Following this advice, the recommended minimum Struts versions to
operate in production are Struts 2.3.35 or Struts 2.5.17.

The Apache Struts Security Team would like to thank the reporters for
their efforts and their practice of responsible disclosure, as well as
their help while investigating the report and coordinating public
disclosure.

Jodd/Madvoc MVC framework

[Rene Gielen]

Hi folks,

has anyone seen this before?
http://jodd.org/doc/madvoc/index.html

Looks like they are taking basic Struts 2 concepts and mixing it with
some Spring MVC and Seam.

It might be interesting to evaluate which of their concepts might be
nice to integrate in S2.5/3 - just sayin' ... :)

Re: commons-fileupload security vulnerability (Struts 1.3)

[Rene Gielen]

Hi,

Struts 1 is out of maintenance. I have no information whether
commons-fileupload 1.3.1 works as a drop-in replacement for 1.1.1 in
Struts 1.3 based applications. Most probably you will have to give it a
test drive.

[ANN][SECURITY] Struts 1 - CVE-2014-0114 -Mitigation Advice Available, Possible RCE Impact

[Rene Gielen]

As confirmed in our last announcement, the Apache Struts 1 framework in
all versions is affected by a ClassLoader manipulation vulnerability
(CVE-2014-0114) similar to a recently fixed vulnerability in Struts 2
(CVE-2014-0112, CVE-2014-0094) [1].

Thanks to the efforts of Alvaro Munoz and the HP Fortify team, the
Apache Struts project team can recommend a first mitigation that is
relatively simple to apply. It involves the introduction of a generic
Servlet filter, adding the possibility to blacklist unacceptable request
parameters based on regular expressions. Please see the corresponding HP
Fortify blog entry [2] for detailed instructions.

The HP Fortify team also informed us that the vulnerability may be
exploited for Remote Code Execution (RCE) in certain environments. Based
on this information, the Apache Struts project team recommends to apply
the mitigation advice *immediately* for all Struts 1 based applications.

Struts 1 has had its End-Of-Life announcement more than one year ago
[3]. However, in a cross project effort the Struts team is looking for a
correction or an improved mitigation path. Please stay tuned for further
information regarding a solution.

This is a cross-list posting. If you have questions regarding this
report, please direct them to secur...@struts.apache.org only.

In Struts 2.3.16.1, an issue with ClassLoader manipulation via request
parameters was supposed to be resolved. Unfortunately, the correction
wasn't sufficient.

A security fix release fully addressing this issue is in preparation and
will be released as soon as possible.

Once the release is available, all Struts 2 users are strongly
recommended to update their installations.

* Until the release is available, all Struts 2 users are strongly
recommended to apply the mitigation described [1] *

Please follow the Apache Struts announcement channels [2][3][4][5] to

The Apache Struts Project Team would like to inform you that the Struts
1.x web framework has reached its end of life and is no longer
officially supported.

Started in 2000, Struts 1 had its last release - version 1.3.10 - in
December 2008. In the meantime the Struts community has focused on
pushing the Struts 2 framework forward, with as many as 23 releases as
of this writing. Taking this into account, announcing Struts 1 EOL is
just the official statement that we have been lacking volunteer support
for some time now and that users should not rely on a properly
maintained framework state when utilizing Struts 1 in projects. See the
following Q/A section for more details.

Q: With the announcement of Struts 1 EOL, what happens to Struts 1
resources?
A: All resources will stay where they are. The documentation will still
be accessible from the Apache Struts homepage, as well as the downloads
for all released Struts 1.x versions. All of the Struts 1 source code
can be found in the Apache Struts subversion repository, now and in
future. All released Maven artifacts will still be accessible in Maven
Central.

Q: Given a major security problem or a serious bug is reported for
Struts 1 in near future, can we expect a new release with fixes?
A: As of now, actually no - that is what the EOL announcement
essentially is about. Since the end of support is reached, you will
either need to find mitigations, patch the existing Struts 1 source code
yourself or migrate your project to another web framework.

Q: Is there an immediate need to eliminate Struts 1 from my projects?
A: As far as the Struts team is currently aware of, there is no urgent
issue posing the immediate need to eliminate Struts 1 usage from your
projects. However, you should be aware that security and bug fixes will
no longer be provided. If in future such flaws are found you will need
to take action as described in the preceding answer.

Q: We plan to start a new project based on Struts 1. Can we still do so?
A: Basically yes, but we would not recommend doing so. As long as no
code line is written it is very easy to conceptually select an
alternative web framework such as Struts 2.

Q: We want to migrate our project from Struts 1 to another web
framework. What would you recommend?
A: You should be aware that there is currently no "drop-in" replacement
for Struts 1. You will need to adapt your existing code to the framework
of choice. Basically every action based Java web framework is a possible
candidate. We as the Apache Struts Team can highly recommend
investigating Struts 2 as a successor framework - it is modern, highly
decoupled, feature rich, well maintained and successfully running in
many mission critical projects in the wild. It shares the same basic
principles with Struts 1, but offers a highly improved architecture and
API. Other alternatives are e.g. Spring Web MVC, Grails or Stripes.

Q: My friends / colleagues and I would like to see Struts 1 being
maintained again. What can we do?
A: You are free to put effort in Struts 1. There are basically two
possible ways to do so: either fork the existing source, or engage in
community building within the Apache Struts Project. If there are enough
people demonstrating their will and ability to provide patches,
maintenance and oversight in the long run, there is nothing holding us
back from putting Struts 1 back into maintenance with the help of these
volunteers.

ApacheConEU started - join us

[Rene Gielen]

Hi there,

ACEU 2012 in Sinsheim has started. Several Struts team members will be
present at the conference, such as Johannes Geppert (@jogep), Christian
Grobmeier (@grobmeier) and me (@rgielen).

If you are attending and interested in a chat about Struts 2 or the
state of the universe in general, feel free to drop by or ping. I'd be
happy to meet some Struts 2 users and share some thoughts.

Shameless plug: today at 14:00 Johannes and I will be giving a talk on
"Modern Web Application Development with Struts 2" - hope to see you
there :)

Cheers
René

Re: S2 support for index action?

[Rene Gielen]

I think I see the use case - while accessing /cart/ should be a valid request 
to the cart topic landing page (index), default action might map to a default 
"unknown URI" page, which has say a humble error message and some suggestions 
what URIs the user would want to access.

But isn't the same as default action per package ? Where you can
specify the index action:






index.jsp




Or would you have a more sophisticated mechanism which will
automagically discover index action instead of specifying default
action for each package ?

The case is that there can be more than one class used to implement
actions for given namespace.

Re: getText syntax for jsp tags

[Rene Gielen]

The key attribute is for simple resource properties lookup only, without
MessageFormat. The  tag is able to deal with MessageFormat in
particular.

In your case you could either use specialized properties in your bundle:

reject.to=Reject to
reject.to.larry=%{getText('reject.to')} Larry

or use the getText call in your tag:



or, if users is a collection to iterate over, containing user beans with
a property firstName:

Re: Benefits of using Filter as front controller

[Rene Gielen]

No worries, always good to question - review - rethink

If there is serious interest in an alternative servlet dispatcher besides 
FilterDispatcher, contributions are welcome. From the top of my head, the old 
dispatcher is still around as deprecated, and most of the dispatcher 
functionality resides in a delegate.

Re: Benefits of using Filter as front controller

[Rene Gielen]

So far I fail to see where Struts 2 deviates from or violates the spec.
The fact that _usually_ a front controller - a concept not to be found
at all in the servlet spec - is implemented as servlet does not mean
that it _has_ to be implemented that way, unless the spec says or
clearly implies otherwise. For what I found in the and cited earlier,
this is not the case.

That WAS *interprets* the spec in a different way - especially when it
comes to a tooling level that has nothing to do with the spec whatsoever
(parsing web.xml to generate loadbalancing / proxy webserver
configuration) - is a totally different story. To some extent I
understand the rationale behind this, implying a servlet mapping should
exist for a given URL - but besides IBM claiming this has to be the
case, I haven't found any evidence so far. Interestingly, when it comes
to IBM support saying Struts 2 deviates from the spec, I remember more
than one case where I found WAS / Websphere Portal to implement a very
... say ... at least ... imaginative interpretation of the specs. I'm
not quite sure if them saying that Struts 2 deviates makes a case for
this being a fact to count on. But again, I'm happy to hear I'm wrong if
someone could clearly point out what I might have missed when reading
the spec.

Side note - sorry to say, but in my very personal and for sure not
representative experience, every time a "some application servers might
have issues" case arises, there is a good chance that _some_ of them
share a common product line name, starting with "W" :) And well, going
through hell when deploying apps to WAS* is something I suffered from
myself many times, with various different frameworks and technology
stacks in use.

I'll try to wrap up my points:
- the filter-based dispatching addressed real and serious technical
integration issues, and was able to solve them
- if it would violate the spec, we would *have to* remove it again, or
at least deliver a then spec conform dispatcher servlet as alternative -
so far there seems to be no evidence this is the case
- the Struts team *can for sure do much better* in documenting the
possible glitches, especially after what we learned from this thread and
your experiences; we should point out that using a filter dispatcher
might impose the need to add a default dummy servlet mapping to help
some application servers

BTW: I agree, Spring MVC became a great framework once they dropped the
inheritance-based controller madness, replacing it with annotation based
POJO configuration and heavy AOP magic. Nevertheless, Struts 2 has a lot
of sweet spots even over Spring MVC, as to my opinion as a user of both :)

[ANN] Struts 2.3.4.1 GA release available

[Rene Gielen]

The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 2.3.4.1 is
available as a "General Availability" release. The GA designation is
our highest quality grade.

Apache Struts 2 is an elegant, extensible framework for creating
enterprise-ready Java web applications. The framework is designed to
streamline the full development cycle, from building, to deploying, to
maintaining applications over time.

This release includes two important security fixes:
* improved token mechanism, if used as CSRF attack prevention
* restricted parameter name length to reduce DOS attack risks

All developers are recommended to update existing Struts 2
applications to Struts 2.3.4.1.

Struts 2.3.4.1 is available in a full distribution, or as separate
library, source, example and documentation distributions, from the
releases page.

* http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts2341

The release is also available through the central Maven repository
under Group ID "org.apache.struts". The release notes are available
online.

* https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Version%20Notes%202.3.4.1

The 2.3.x series of the Apache Struts framework has a minimum
requirement of the following specification versions: Servlet API 2.4,
JSP API 2.0, and Java 5.

Should any issues arise with your use of any version of the Struts
framework, please post your comments to the user list, and, if
appropriate, file a tracking ticket.appropriate, file a tracking
ticket:

Re: Benefits of using Filter as front controller

[Rene Gielen]

Grabbed me a copy of Servlet Spec 2.4:


SRV.6.1 What is a filter?
A filter is a reusable piece of code that can transform the content of
HTTP requests, responses, and header information. Filters do not
generally create a response or respond to a request as servlets do,
rather they modify or adapt the requests for a resource, and modify or
adapt responses from a resource.


"do not generally" is way different from "may not", right?

Reading both the relevant parts of the spec and the API docs again, I
cannot see any violation of the servlet specification by using a Filter
for doing the dispatching, rather than a Servlet.

The other part is how requests are mapped, which imposes the question if
a servlet mapping matching the request URL must exist:


SRV.11.1 Use of URL Paths
[...]
1. The container will try to find an exact match of the path of the
request to the path of the servlet. A successful match selects the servlet.
2. The container will recursively try to match the longest path-prefix.
This is done by stepping down the path tree a directory at a time, using
the ’/’ character as a path separator. The longest match determines the
servlet selected.
(ad 2.: Previous versions of this specification made use of these
mapping tech- niques as a suggestion rather than a requirement, allowing
servlet con- tainers to each have their different schemes for mapping
client requests to servlets.)
3. If the last segment in the URL path contains an extension (e.g.
.jsp), the servlet container will try to match a servlet that handles
requests for the extension. An extension is defined as the part of the
last segment after the last ’.’ character.
4. If neither of the previous three rules result in a servlet match, the
container will attempt to serve content appropriate for the resource
requested. If a "default" servlet is defined for the application, it
will be used.


Point 4 is crucial. As to my opinion, it doesn't state clearly if a
default mapping must exist or not, which leaves it IMO up to the container.

That said, most frameworks use dispatcher servlets, and WebWork / Struts
2 once did as well.

The rationale behind switching to the Filter architecture was to deal
better with integrating technologies such a Sitemesh or Portlet, which
both profit from splitting the dispatching in more than one phase. This
could only be accomplished by using filters rather than servlets. Since
then, e.g. all major problems with sitemes integration magically
disappeared.

So my point of view is that there is nothing wrong with using filters
for dispatching. If the container interprets the servlet spec in an
opposite way, a dummy default servlet mapping should do the trick.

Nevertheless I'm happy to hear about points I might have missed or
misinterpreted.

Re: Struts2 session concurrency issue ?

[Rene Gielen]

Please remember that the HTTP session is not synchronized. Thus, using the
session.put is a critical method. Most likely, what you really want to do is
counter = session.get("counter");
counter.increment (or incrementAndGet)
In this way you ensure exactly the same object is accessed and incremted /
consumed.

Well, actually user@struts.a.o is not slow at all - it's moderators are
slow, since they are all human.

To make things faster, just subscribe to the list as described in
http://struts.apache.org/mail.html - you get 100% pure lightning fast
computer only message delivery as a benefit, without human moderators
being involved to review and ocassionally let pass your mail manually.

Each message of an unsubscribed user gets moderated, which makes it both
slower and and more work intensive for mailing list moderators!

Re: Struts 2 and OSGi

[Rene Gielen]

Chad,

so far not too mcuh discussion has happened on improved OSGI support in
future Struts 2 versions. But as always, someone needs to kick things
off and share ideas :)

That said, you might want to consider moving this discussion over to
dev@struts.a.o, which is the better place for talking about developing
the framework itself.

Regards,
René

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Struts 2.0.14 End of Life Announcement

[Rene Gielen]

The Apache Struts Team likes to inform you that the Struts 2.0 branch has
reached it's end of life and is no longer supported. All users of Struts
2.0.14 or earlier Struts 2 versions are strongly advised to update their
existing applications to Struts 2.3.x.

Struts 2.0.14 was for some time maintained in parallel to the 2.1 and 2.2
branches, since Struts 2.1 introduced some API and plugin changes that were
likely to break existing user code on top of Struts 2. However, the
community interest in maintaining the Struts 2.0.x branch was not strong
enough to keep it sufficiently up to date, especially in terms of security
fixes. There are several serious security problems that, while being
continuously addressed in later Struts 2 versions, did not make it into the
2.0.x branch. For that reason the Apache Struts PMC decided to remove
2.0.14 as a supported version.

For more information on how to upgrade existing applications running on top
of Struts 2.0.x to Struts 2.1 and later, please read the Guide to Migrating
from Struts 2.0.x to 2.1.x [1].

[ANN] Reminder: TAC Assistance to ApacheCon NA 2011 closes July 8th

[Rene Gielen]

Forwarded on behalf of the Travel Assistance Committee:

Hi All,

Just a friendly (and final)  reminder that applications for financial
help to attend ApacheCon NA 2011 in Vancouver close this coming Friday
8th July (2200 BST : UTC+1)

Financial assistance is available for Travel (planes, trains, whatever),
Accomodation (at the conference venue hotel) and Conference entrance
fees. Dependant on your circumstances will decide how much of that you
would be given.

Please visit http://apache.org/travel for more information and a link to
the application form.

Remember: We DO help people get to ApacheCon and other Apache events
every year, we DO want to help people get there who otherwise could not,
that is why we exist.

Spread the word, you are welcome to tweet, blog, email, post, phone or
smoke signal to anyone who you think might benefit from attending
ApacheCon this year.

Kind Regards,

The Travel Assistance Committee.

Travel Assistance applications now open for ApacheCon NA 2011

[Rene Gielen]

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)'s Travel Assistance Committee (TAC)
is now accepting applications for ApacheCon North America 2011, 7-11
November in Vancouver BC, Canada.

The TAC is seeking individuals from the Apache community at-large
--users, developers, educators, students, Committers, and Members-- who
would like to attend ApacheCon, but need some financial support in order
to be able to get there. There are limited places available, and all
applicants will be scored on their individual merit.

Financial assistance is available to cover flights/trains, accommodation
and entrance fees either in part or in full, depending on circumstances.
However, the support available for those attending only the BarCamp (7-8
November) is less than that for those attending the entire event
(Conference + BarCamp 7-11 November). The Travel Assistance Committee
aims to support all official ASF events, including cross-project
activities; as such, it may be prudent for those in Asia and Europe to
wait for an event geographically closer to them.

More information can be found at http://www.apache.org/trave/index.html
including a link to the online application and detailed instructions for
submitting.

Applications will close on 8 July 2011 at 22:00 BST (UTC/GMT +1).

We wish good luck to all those who will apply, and thank you in advance
for tweeting, blogging, and otherwise spreading the word.

Regards,
The Travel Assistance Committee

If you go for JSP, you might want to check out The Java EE 5 Tutorial:
JSP http://download.oracle.com/javaee/5/tutorial/doc/bnagx.html.
Alternatively you have others options in Struts 2, such as Freemarker or
Velocity templating languages

Check out the example applications that come with the Struts 2
distribution - there are explicit CRUD examples, and S2 provides quite
elegant solutions for this topic -

Struts 2 in Action is an excellent book, but not that up to date - it
covers only 2.0, not 2.1 or 2.2. Another excellent and more up to date
option is Dave Newton's "Apache Struts 2 Web Application Development"
(Packt)

[ANN][SECURITY] Security Announcement: XSS Vulnerability in Struts 2 before 2.2.3

[Rene Gielen]

Problem:

A security vulnerability affecting all versions of Struts 2 before
Struts 2.2.3 has been reported by Dr. Marian Ventuneac (Genworth). The
vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious client side
Javascript code in Struts 2 based applications that have Dynamic Method
Invocation allowed (which is the default) AND do not have a global error
handling page configured.

For further details, see:
https://cwiki.apache.org/WW/s2-006.html
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3579

Solution:
-
We advice all users of Struts 2 for all their Struts 2 based
applications to either

upgrade to Struts 2.2.3, which fixes the issue; it can be obtained from
http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts223

or

disable Dynamic Method Invocation in struts.xml, as described in
https://cwiki.apache.org/WW/s2-006.html

or

define a global error page in struts.xml, as described in
https://cwiki.apache.org/WW/s2-006.html

[ANN] Struts 2.2.1 GA release available

[Rene Gielen]

The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 2.2.1 is
available as a "General Availability" release. The GA designation is our
highest quality grade.

Apache Struts 2 is an elegant, extensible framework for creating
enterprise-ready Java web applications. The framework is designed to
streamline the full development cycle, from building, to deploying, to
maintaining applications over time.

This release includes a number of new features and bug fixes since the
2.1.8.1 GA release, including important security fixes regarding remote
server context manipulation by injecting OGNL expressions in request
parameters. For more information about the exploits and possible
mitigation workarounds, see the corresponding security bulletins S2-005:
* http://struts.apache.org/2.2.1/docs/s2-005.html

All developers are strongly advised to update existing Struts 2
applications to Struts 2.2.1.

Struts 2.2.1 is available in a full distribution, or as separate
library, source, example and documentation distributions, from the
releases page:

* http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts221

The release is also available through the central Maven repository under
Group ID "org.apache.struts". The release notes are available online:

* http://struts.apache.org/2.2.1/docs/version-notes-221.html


The 2.2.x series of the Apache Struts framework has a minimum
requirement of the following specification versions: Servlet API 2.4,
JSP API 2.0, and Java 5.

Should any issues arise with your use of any version of the Struts
framework, please post your comments to the user list, and, if
appropriate, file a tracking ticket:

* https://issues.apache.org/struts/secure/Dashboard.jspa

Re: Fwd: Model Driven Action doesn't return value when model gets reassigned to some other value - hibernate problem

[Rene Gielen]

Hi Greg,

the thing about ModelDriven is that the model object gets pushed on the
value stack _before_ your action method is executed. To initialize the
model object before the ModelDrivenInterceptor comes into play, just
implement Preparable and do your initialization in prepare() (as Lukasz
already suggested)

Re: CRUD with a OneToMany association under Struts 2 / Hibernate 3

[Rene Gielen]

Given the model you presented in the first post, your problem seems to
be that the posted values have not the correct name for the children's
form fields. The parameters names you would need are

id
name
values[0].id
values[0].name
values[1].id
values[2].name
...

for the parameters interceptor to work properly when applying the posted
values.

See here for more details:

Re: CRUD with a OneToMany association under Struts 2 / Hibernate 3

[Rene Gielen]

I'm not sure if I understand what your actual question is, nor whether
it is particularly Struts 2 related (rather than just Hibernate) - but
you might want to have a look in the CRUD demo section of the Struts 2
showcase application. Maybe you will also find this demo useful:

Re: textfield with Date object

[Rene Gielen]

The same problem as with any localized web app. Typical Struts 2
solution to explicitly switch the locale context:

Switch to German Locale

The value will remain throughout the session. Still would not parse the
date manually in the action then.

Re: textfield with Date object

[Rene Gielen]

Hi,

(copied from an earlier thread on numbers)

see
http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8.1/docs/formatting-dates-and-numbers.html

It is important to know that Struts 2 has always a locale context
request for each request, which affects both formating and parsing dates
and numbers. The request locale is determined as follows:

1. Request parameter
(http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8/docs/i18n-interceptor.html)
2. Session attribute
(http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8/docs/i18n-interceptor.html)
3. Browser preference
4. Server side JVM default

The first matching lookup wins.

The type conversion mechanism tries to parse dates and numbers in the
current locale context, thus you should be fine when you ensure that you
have a consistent locale request setting both for the first request
(rendering the form and the current value in the textfield) and the
second request (processing the submitted form).

Re: Preload of database data?

[Rene Gielen]

The main downside is that you will have nothing injected into your
action by the time the constructor code is executed. Also, the params
interceptor (as others placed before preparable) should not have taken
any effects when action is instantiated.
Another advantage of the prepare interceptor is the use of the
paramsPrepareParams pattern which is extremly cool for CRUD stuff

When the Edit is submitted, the aId passed in is actually a String of comma

the correct indexed value?

Re: @Transactional Spring Annotation in a Struts2 Action does not work

[Rene Gielen]

You should consider to have a look into the paramsPrepareParams pattern 
(see struts-default.xml for a brief description) and to write and use a 
TransactionInterceptor. The latter one gives you the same cross cutting 
TX approach you want from your @Transational annotation, but in addition 
to that it supports lazy loading of hibernate proxied properties when 
the view is rendered. Basically, this is similar to the 
OpenSessionInView Hibernate pattern.


Jeroen De Ridder schrieb:

Hi Dustin,

Yes, I do require the ability to be able to manually set transaction 
boundaries from controller code. The main reason is because Hibernate 
updates database records when a persistent object changes state during a 
transaction. It picks up on the changes made to the object when the 
transaction is committed and persists them to the database. Using the 
service layer to do that wouldn't really make sense because you would 
have to create methods for every set of changed properties you require. 
And even if you did that, you still wouldn't be able to combine the 
transaction with any other controller logic.


Basically, I try to use service layer calls as much as possible without 
an explicit transaction created in the controller if not necessary. 
Updates to persistent instances virtually always require the controller 
to start a transaction though, for the reason outlined above. So for 
example, I have a service for products which has a method to grab a 
product instance by ID. If all I need is the product instance to read 
some stuff from, I'll do:


Product p = productService.getProduct(myProductId);

Notice that I didn't create a transaction in the controller code, so the 
service method will create one for itself, and that's fine. When I 
update a product however, I'll do this:


txr.execute(new TransactionalExecution(){
   public void execute() {
Product p = productService.getProduct(myProductId);
   if(p == null) throw new MyException("No such product exists!");
p.setName(name);
   p.setPrice(price);
   p.setColor(color);
}
});

The reason here is that I need the product instance to be updated with 
my Struts 2 parameter data (name, price and color), so I need to change 
its properties during a transaction. I think you'll agree that it really 
doesn't make sense to create a service layer method updateProduct(name, 
price, color) or something like that for every possible combination of 
properties you want to change. As I mentioned before, the controller 
logic that updates the instance's properties can use arbitrary service 
layer functionality all within the same transaction, courtesy of 
propagation=REQUIRED. I think this makes for pretty clear and easy to 
understand code.


Does this answer your question?


Jeroen,

This setup is so that you can initiate and control the properties of the
transaction from the controller, if that is a pattern you require?

Do you do this for all your calls to the service layer from 
controllers, and

how is it better/different from a calling a service method annotated with
@Transactional(propagation=Propagation.REQUIRED) normally from the
controller?   Is it just so you can control the propagation 
characteristics? 
It seems like an interesting pattern, I am just wondering how it is used.


Jeroen De Ridder wrote:
 
I'll agree that a service layer alone won't cut it, simply because of 
the way JPA/Hibernate works. Updating an instance for example is just 
something that doesn't belong in a service. I'm by no means an expert 
of best practices in JPA/Hibernate and Spring, but I've found a 
combination of services and anonymous runner interface instances to 
work quite well.


Basically, the idea is that you create a bunch of services to do 
routine stuff to improve code clarity and avoid code duplication in 
your actions. You'd mark these services with propagation=REQUIRED, so 
that they can run by themselves if needed as well as run along with 
any existing transactions. For logic that needs more than a single 
call to a service, I then do something like this:


txr.execute(new TransactionalExecution(){
public void execute() {
   Foo foo = fooService.getFoo(id);
if(foo != null) throw new FooException("No such foo exists!");
   foo.setName(name);
   }
});

TransactionalExecution is just an interface with a single method 
execute() that exists just so we can create anonymous instances of it 
to pass to txr, which would be an instance of 
TransactionalExecutionRunner:


public class JpaSpringTransactionalExecutionRunner implements 
TransactionalExecutionRunner {

   @Transactional(propagation=Propagation.REQUIRED)
public void execute(TransactionalExecution t) {
t.execute();
}
   @Transactional(propagation=Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
public void executeRequiresNew(TransactionalExecution t) {
t.execute();
}
   @Transactional(propagation=

java.text.SimpleDateFormat formats a java.util.Date according to a

Who's going to Devoxx conference, Antwerp?

[Rene Gielen]

Probably the biggest European Java conference, Devoxx (formerly known as 
Javapolis) is happening next week in Antwerp, Belgium.


At least two Struts2 developers, namely Rainer Hermanns and me, will be 
attending. Are any Struts2 users also attending? If yes, how about 
scheduling an informal get-together besides the conference?

[ANN] Struts 2.0.14 GA release available

[Rene Gielen]

The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 2.0.14 is
available as a "General Availability" release. The GA designation is our
highest quality grade.

Apache Struts 2 is an elegant, extensible framework for creating
enterprise-ready Java web applications. The framework is designed to
streamline the full development cycle, from building, to deploying, to
maintaining applications over time.

This release is a bugfix release for version 2.0.12, which provided
important security fixes. Struts 2.0.14 addresses two major bugs
introduced with these security fixes, keeping the FilterDispatcher from
serving built in static resources, and keeping conversion error messages
from being displayed.

All developers are strongly encouraged to update existing Struts 2
applications to Struts 2.0.14.

Struts 2.0.14 is available in a full distribution, or as separate library,
source, example and documentation distributions, from the releases page:

* http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts2014

The release is also available through the central Maven repository under
Group ID "org.apache.struts". The release notes are available online:

* http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/release-notes-2014.html

The 2.0.x series of the Apache Struts framework has a minimum requirement
of the following specification versions: Servlet API 2.4, JSP API 2.0,
Java 5, Backported Java 4 JARs are also available.

Should any issues arise with your use of any version of the Struts
framework, please post your comments to the user list, and, if
appropriate, file a tracking ticket:

Due to a lack of internet connection, Rainer will not be able to do a

will follow.

Re: struts 2.0.14

[Rene Gielen]

David,

the latest problem with conversion errors not being copied to the safe 
stack is fixed in xwork svn, and we need it to be released before we 
could promote a 2.0.14 build.


For now, you could check out the current xwork 2.0.x branch and build a 
jar which you could use as a drop in replacement for the xwork 2.0.6 jar 
 provided with the 2.0.13 test build.


We're working on a solution to get a full release out, but any feedback 
from users whether our problems are fixed with the current codebase 
would be really helpful!


Sorry for the inconvenience,
Rene

possible server filesystem resources read access in certain application
server environments. For more information about the exploits, see the
corresponding security bulletins S2-003 and S2-004:

[ANN] Struts 2.0.11.2 General Availability Release with Important Security Fix

[Rene Gielen]

Apache Struts 2.0.11.2 is now available from
.

This release is a fast track security fix release, including a security
fixed version 2.0.5 of XWork, which corrects a serious vulnerability in
ParametersInterceptor allowing malicious users to remotely change server
side context objects. For more information about the exploit, visit our
security bulletins page at
.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL NOTES:
There are two known issues with this release:
1. the integrated XWork 2.0.5 jar may cause problems when used in a
combination of WebSphere 6.1 runtime environments with validation
configuration via XML files.
Possible Workarounds:
- use annotation based validation definition instead XML based
- stay with Struts 2.0.11.1 including XWork 2.0.4, applying the
  following exclude rule to your parameter interceptor refs in
  struts.xml
  
  .*[[^\\p{Graph}][#:=]].*
  
2. the filtering mechanism implemeted in XWork's ParametersInterceptor
to fix the described security issue does not completely avoid any
possible malicious parameter name.
Possible Workaround:
- apply the following exclude rule to your parameter interceptor refs in
  struts.xml to avoid the usage of backslash characters in parameter
  names
  
  .*\\.*
  
Both issues will be addressed in a soon upcoming XWork 2.0.6 release,
followed by a new Struts 2.0 GA release including this new XWork version.

* All developers are advised to either update Struts 2 applications to
Struts 2.0.11.2 or manually exchange usages of xwork-2.0.x.jar with the
fixed xwork-2.0.5.jar to prevent remotety induced context manipulations.

Re: S2 Textfield tag date formatting

As a followup to my own posting: Sorry for not reading properly, of
course your problem does not really relate to output formatting.

Guillaume is right here IMO, for a fixed Date format a custom
TypeConverter should be the way to go, as long as the datepicker does
not work for you.

Re: [S2] 2 Select Boxes, one based on the other

[Rene Gielen]

Indeed there is no way without Javascript. The s2 tag Skip is searching 
for is

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/doubleselect

Zoran Avtarovski schrieb:

Any solution has to be javascript based. The question is wether you want a
server side visit or not. And that is dependant on how much data variability
there is in your second select list.

In our case if there are only a limited number of variations we download
them all as part of the initial page and use pure javascript, but if there
lots then we employ a simple ajax call.

Z.


I apologize profusely for what has got to be a FAQ, but I can't find
reference to this at all, either Googling or in my message archives.

I have the classic problem of 2 select boxes, and the values of the
second select will change based upon the choice in the first box.  I am
using a simple theme at the present time, and have no immediate plans to
move to anything AJAX related for this release.

I have seen ComboBox and AutoComplete, but these don't seem to come
close to what is needed.  IS there a Struts 2 based way to do this, or
am I back to JavaScript?

Thanks for any help, and again, I very much apologize for posting what
must be a very basic question.

Re: popping messages from an action

[Rene Gielen]

Session,

your question is not very much related to struts in the first place, but 
more to understanding web technologies such as html, http and 
javascript. The brief answer to your question is: yes, it works, but it 
is a bit complicated due to the http request/response system and usually 
introduces the need to write some javascript code.
How about starting more simple at first? Use the struts2 form elements 
along with validation, and see how the information for bad input is 
rendered automatically within the form after validation process, at next 
to no costs in terms of having to program lots of js/html magic.


Regards,
Rene

struts 2, is there a way for struts 2 to execute html code from within an

Re: obtaining a user selection, please help

[Rene Gielen]

Session,

please make sure your read (at least) the following chapters carefully:
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/crud-demo-i.html
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/type-conversion.html

After that, it would be quite good to have a look into the showcase app 
distributed with struts2. Most of your usage questions should be covered 
there, with handy and easy to understand examples.

Re: [S2] Design Advice Needed

[Rene Gielen]

You should definitely have a look into the struts2-jasperreports-plugin
- both for checking out how to write own results and evaluating if you
might want to use jasper over FOP, since full s2 result support is
already available for jasper.

The plugin is part of the struts2 source distribution.

You are right, there is no bundled BigDecimal related validator in

FieldValidatorSupport). For registering, see

BTW, is it really validation you are searching for, or is it conversion

Re: [s2]how to detect changes in the available values in a list using optionstransferselect

[Rene Gielen]

If you look into the resulting html source rendered from your page, you
will notice a dojo.event.connect javascript call for the form submit
event (originated at
struts2-core/src/main/resource/template/simple/form-close.ftl).
You can use this kind of event model yourself for the onclick events of
the buttons you want to monitor.
See http://dojotoolkit.org for more information.

Re: [S2] Interceptor Question (Thread Safety)

[Rene Gielen]

Ken, others,

now for the definitive answer:
There is one instance per interceptor ref, thus interceptor instances 
being unique within the scope they are referenced in.


Example:






barfoobar

/index.jsp



barfoo

/index.jsp



This will cause two instances of FooInterceptor being created, one with 
bar property set to "barfoobar" and one with "barfoo". The interceptors 
parameters given in struts.xml are only set once per instance, which 
means that there are no thread safety issues with interceptor instance 
variables.


HTH,
Rene

Thanks, Rene!

Someone might want to update the documentation to make this clearer.
The following document seems to indicate otherwise:

http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/writing-interceptors.html

Thread Safety
Interceptors must be thread-safe!

A Struts 2 Action instance is created for every request and do not need
to be thread-safe. Conversely, Interceptors are shared between requests
and must be thread-safe.

Ken,

there is no problem at all since s2 interceptor instances, as well as
action instances, are created per ActionInvokation, which means they are
always operated in a single thread.

From what I understand from reading the documentation, interceptors
are suppose to be thread safe.  However, I have noticed that some of
the interceptors do  contain instance variables and I have seen some
examples where these variables are set or modified from with in the

For example, the File Upload interceptor allows you to set the
maximumSize and allowedTypes.  Is this going to work if I have 2
different actions each allowing different maximumSize and

allowedTypes?

This does not seem thread safe to me.  Is there only one instance of
the interceptors or does maybe each action mapping have its own
instance of the interceptors?

Thanks in advance,

Re: [S2] Interceptor Question (Thread Safety)

[Rene Gielen]

Ken,

there is no problem at all since s2 interceptor instances, as well as
action instances, are created per ActionInvokation, which means they are
always operated in a single thread.

Regards,
Rene

suppose to be thread safe.  However, I have noticed that some of the
interceptors do  contain instance variables and I have seen some
examples where these variables are set or modified from with in the

For example, the File Upload interceptor allows you to set the
maximumSize and allowedTypes.  Is this going to work if I have 2
different actions each allowing different maximumSize and allowedTypes?
This does not seem thread safe to me.  Is there only one instance of the
interceptors or does maybe each action mapping have its own instance of
the interceptors?

Thanks in advance,

Re: Struts 2 - Array of Text Fields

[Rene Gielen]

With s2, you can do tabular forms quite elegantly. Although the page
needs some updates (will try to get on this the next days), the basic
principle is shown here:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/Tabular+inputs

You might want to make sure you understand type conversion principles
beforehands, especially for collection types.

I'm new to struts 2 and I'm trying to setup an edit form that will have an 
array of text boxes that will transfer their values back to the action for 
processing.

I've tried a couple things, but I'm thinking I'm just approaching it all wrong 
or missing some key link somewhere and I can't find an example for struts 2 
that directly addresses what I'm trying to do. I'll psuedocode out what I've 
tried, but if anyone has a an example that my google-fu is too weak to find, or 
can give me a simple run down on the right approach that would be great.


ItemClass
String getProp1()
setProp1(String)

String getProp2()
setProp2(String)

Action class
execute
save

String getMessage()
setMessage(String)

ItemClass[] getItems  ()
setItems (ItemClass[])

JSP

form (posts to save)
TextField  - name=message

(I've tried this part two ways)
TextField - name=items[0].prop1
   TextField - name=items[0].prop2
   TextField - name=items[1].prop1

   TextField - name=items[1].prop2

(Second try)

Iterator id=it value=items
TextField - name=it.prop1
TextField - name=it.prop2


I was able to get both methods to display the data correctly in all the text 
fields, and the message value is being posted to the action correctly on 
submit, but the items array is always null after submit no matter what I do. 
I've done nothing special in the struts config files to desginate that this 
property is an array. Could that be it?

Re: optionstransferselect tag

Without using dojo, it's quite complicated to code a generic solution
for the tag as it is now. Dojo allows you to add one or more event
listeners, and that is done with the selectAllOptionsExceptSome
function: it is bound to the onsubmit event with dojo.event.connect,
with the needed code being able to be bound to the component template.

Coding the needed javascript by hand, might cause trouble in future when
implementation details might be changed. So maybe using dojo for adding
a js event model to your page is not the worst option ...

Re: [S2] Interceptor Question (Thread Safety)

Ken,

there is no problem at all since s2 interceptor instances, as well as 
action instances, are created per ActionInvokation, which means they are 
always operated in a single thread.

suppose to be thread safe.  However, I have noticed that some of the
interceptors do  contain instance variables and I have seen some
examples where these variables are set or modified from with in the

For example, the File Upload interceptor allows you to set the
maximumSize and allowedTypes.  Is this going to work if I have 2
different actions each allowing different maximumSize and allowedTypes?
This does not seem thread safe to me.  Is there only one instance of the
interceptors or does maybe each action mapping have its own instance of
the interceptors?

Thanks in advance,

To provide your own conversion error message for a specific field, you will 
have to provide a resource message following the naming convention

invalid.fieldvalue.yourpropertyname

This should override the default message.
