[jira] [Created] (WW-4171) getText methods are not documented as evaluating OGNL

Coverity Security Research Laboratory created WW-4171:
---------------------------------------------------------

             Summary: getText methods are not documented as evaluating OGNL
                 Key: WW-4171
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4171
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 2.3.15.1
            Reporter: Coverity Security Research Laboratory


The methods below evaluate OGNL as their first parameter. However they are not documented as evaluating OGNL. We have observed this occurring in one project and are contacting the affected vendors.

com.opensymphony.xwork2.TextProviderSupport.getText(String, String[])
com.opensymphony.xwork2.TextProviderSupport.getText(String, List<?>)
com.opensymphony.xwork2.TextProviderSupport.getText(String)

These methods are then used by ActionSupport (via its getText methods). None of these methods are documented as evaluating OGNL either.

This issue is recommending that all of these methods are documented as evaluating OGNL since this may come as a surprise to some developers.
