[jira] [Updated] (WW-4831) Array-of-null parameters are converted
to arrays containing "null"
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4831?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Mitth'raw'nuruodo updated WW-4831:
----------------------------------
Description:
The {{com.opensymphony.xwork2.conversion.impl.StringConverter}} class, since Struts 2.5.11, incorrectly handles arrays containing null; it converts them to arrays containing the string "null" (using {{String.valueOf}}).
This is breaking one of our applications; some pages are OK, but on other pages, every non-provided field is populated with the String "null".
This is a similar issue to WW-4737, but occurring in different code.
Please ensure that conversion to String always uses {{Objects.toString}}, which preserves nulls, rather than {{String.valueOf}}, which converts them to the four-letter string "null".
