[jira] Commented: (TILES-286) TilesAccess won't set context attributes in Jetty 5.1.10

["Antonio Petrelli (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Antonio Petrelli commented on TILES-286:
----------------------------------------

Tiles 2.0.7 will be essentially a bug-fixing release of Tiles 2.0.6, so IMO I think that, if you use the snapshot of Tiles 2.0.7, you will have a *better* and *more stable* release  than Tiles 2.0.6.

> The code for setting a context attribute in the TilesAccess class is as follows: 
>     private static void setAttribute(Object context, String name, Object value) 
>         throws TilesException { 
>         try { 
>             Class<?> contextClass = context.getClass(); 
>             Method attrMethod = contextClass.getMethod("setAttribute", String.class, Object.class); 
>             attrMethod.invoke(context, name, value); 
>         } catch (Exception e) { 
>             throw new TilesException("Unable to set attribute for specified context: '" + context + "'"); 
>         } 
>     } 
> The line 
>             attrMethod.invoke(context, name, value); 
> throws an IllegalAccessException if Tiles are used inside a Jetty 5.1.11. This happens because Jetty's implementation of the javax.servlet.ServletContext interface is an inner class without the public modifier. 
> I.e., Jetty's org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler$Context is not public although it's setAttribute() is. 
> The same applies to getAttribute() and removeAttribute() methods.
> One of the possible solutions is to reflect the method not only from the class itself, but from all its superclasses and interfaces as well.
