Actually that patch is not a solution, definitely. The solution could be: disable evaluation by default, add a hint to enable evaluation.
for example old--- <s:property value="%{amount}" /> solution--- <s:property value="eval/%{amount}" > i suggest this solution since <s:property value="%{amount}" /> and <s:property value="amount" /> should output the same. am I wrong? also because for the most of the cases just attribute values should be printed and not evaluated the content (note: the initial problem was the s2 performance) Best, Aram ________________________________ Aram Mkhitaryan 52, 25 Lvovyan, Yerevan 375000, Armenia Mobile: +374 91 518456 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
