confused about OGNL
We are using OGNL 2.6.11 from opensymphony. I have seen OGNL 2.7
mentioned in some places, like:
http://blog.opencomponentry.com/2008/02/01/ognl-272-released/. But I
don't see it in the maven repos or anywhere else. Is OGNL still under
development? where did this 2.7 version came from, or where is it
hosted?
regards
musachy

+1 here as well.
Andreas, we're on the same page then, I just hate postponing what is
sitting in SVN right now. But after we get the current batch of
bugfixes out (2.1.8 hopefully can get through to GA), then I'm up for
getting to OGNL 2.7.

I was maybe a little too precise in pointing out 2.1.8, but what I'd like to see is an updated OGNL *before* 2.2 is released, in 2.1.9+ or so.
Releasing 2.1.8 as soon as xwork-2.1.5 is out seems very reasonable.

Although I agree with your sentiment (OGNL performance improvements
are needed), I disagree that we should postpone 2.1.8, 2.1.7 didn't
pass because I missed a detail, but from 2.1.6 to now, we are sitting
on a ton of closed JIRA issues. As soon as Rainer is able to get us
xwork 2.1.5, I am going to get 2.1.8 out. I think we should work on
getting OGNL out as soon as possible, but I don't want to delay 2.1.8
to get it... Thoughts?

FWIW; Any performance-improvements to OGNL are welcome, so I'm all for including 2.7.x in 2.1.8, even if it means delaying the release some to allow testing.

2.7 parsing works fine as a drop in replacement, but the bytecode
compilation does not work out of the box. After enabling it I got a
lot of tests failing.

2.7 has been out for a while, so it should not be *that* risky, but I
wouldn't include it in 2.1.8 with such a short notice and no testing.

I'm gonna start using 2.7(.3) now. I think I had reverted from 2.7 to
2.6 as a result of this exchange:
http://www.nabble.com/Slow-performance-with-Struts2-td18092204.html .
I thought we were already updating lots of other dependencies for 2.1.8?
I understand that there might be code changes in struts that would allow
us to benefit from some of the speedups in 2.7 (which would best go into
2.2), but if it neither breaks anything nor slows anything down with
just a jar change, any reason to wait? (Your caching issue is one, but
adding that doNotCache flag seems like a reasonable workaround for now...)

I did some more checking and it looks good. I would say after 2.1.8
gets released, we create the 2.1 branch and start working on 2.2,
which would use OGNL 2.7, how does that sound?

I believe that this shows a single semantic change to a .java file, and
I believe that the contents of the block that had "synchronized
(method)" added around it in the 2.6.10 -> 2.6.11 transition also is
synchronized the same way in 2.7.2.
This is not a comprehensive comparison, but it appears to indicate that

Re: confused about OGNL
Posted by Musachy Barroso <mu...@gmail.com>.
the struts tests run fine. The 3 tests failing in xwork are related to
setter/getters to having the same type, so given a class:
class IAmHungryWhatTimeIsIt {
private int number;
public int getNumber() {}
public void setNumber(String number) {}
}
so in OGNL 2.6.x if we try to set "obj.number" to 10, it will fail
because it uses PropertyDescriptor(s) to find "number" and it fails to
do so. In OGNL 2.7.x it succeeds because it finds the setter method,
without using PropertyDescriptor.
OGNL 2.7 can compile expressions into java code which gives a very
nice performance boost, so I am big +1 for upgrading. I am trying to
figure if the changes in 2.6 mate it into 2.7 or not.

Re: confused about OGNL
Posted by Musachy Barroso <mu...@gmail.com>.
It seems like we wont be able to use the new OGNL byte code, as we
will end up using reflection in most cases anyway. The first problem
is the value stack, given and expression "A.B", it is always evaluated
as "Root.A.B" where Root is the CompundRoot. That would be translated
into root.getA().getB(), the problem is that root is a wrapper of a
list of objects, so we never know the type of getA() which makes it
impossible to compile it into byte code.
Enter the hack: I managed to get the compilation nodes from OGNL, so I
would use reflection to get X=Root.A, and then generate the bytecode
for X.B, this kinda works but defeats the whole purpose as the
expressions could not be cached properly, so it is useless.
Even if we use the hack described above, expressions like A[C].B would
need to use reflection as the type of A[C] cannot be determined (if
you thought: use the hack again on A[C], go ahead and smack yourself
around a bit :) )
so we are out of luck on this, until invokedynamic is supported by the
jvm(http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=292) (good article:
http://blog.headius.com/2008/09/first-taste-of-invokedynamic.html)
