[jira] Updated: (VELOCITY-618) Strict property and method references

["Byron Foster (JIRA)" <de...@velocity.apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-618?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Byron Foster updated VELOCITY-618:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: strictPropertyAndVariable.patch

strictPropertAndVariable.patch includes the changes of patch strictPropertyRef.patch and also enforces that variables must exist otherwise an exception is thrown. This is turned on using the same runtime.references.strict option.  Internally variables may now be set with a NULL value, as in #(set = $null), and not just simply removed. 

This patch also fixes the issue of #if statements being ignored because one of the sides of the comparison is null, or non-existent.  In the latter case bad references to variables or properties will throw an exception.  In the former case nulls can be properly compared.

> The given patch against trunk adds a new option 'runtime.references.strict'.  When set to true, invalid property references will throw a InvalidMethodException.  For example $foo.bar will throw an exception if the object contained in $foo has no such property as bar.  Any kind of reference to bar will cause an exception including:
> #if(#foo.bar)
> #set($foo.bar = "junk")
> #set($foo.getBar())
> etc...
