[jira] [Updated] (CAMEL-15577) Camel-stringtemplate: Misleading and incorrect implementation of parameter 'allowTemplateFromHeader'

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-15577?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jiri Ondrusek updated CAMEL-15577:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
There is a difference in implementation of parameter `*allowTemplateFromHeader*` in various templating components and missing implementation in stringtemplate component.

 Description from documentation (of "*allowTemplateFromHeader*"):
{quote}Whether to allow to use resource template from header or not (default false). Enabling this allows to specify dynamic templates via message header. However this can be seen as a potential security vulnerability if the header is coming from a malicious user, so use this with care.
{quote}
Common sense says that with this parameter I can send template via header.

Which is implemented for example in velocity component (see [https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/components/camel-velocity/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/component/velocity/VelocityEndpoint.java#L185])

In stringtemplate component there is only functionality about providing own variable map (see [https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/master/components/camel-stringtemplate/src/main/java/org/apache/camel/component/stringtemplate/StringTemplateEndpoint.java#L104]) - the same functionality in velocity is called 'supplementalContext'

 In stringtemplate documentation is a described usage of this custom context map:
{quote}You can define the custom context map by setting the message header "*CamelStringTemplateVariableMap*" just like the below code. 
{quote}
Errors:
 # -parameter "*CamelStringTemplateVariableMap*" is applied only when "*allowTemplateFromHeader*" is set to true-
 # there is no way of providing template via header.

 

Fix should
 # r-emove dependency between "*CamelStringTemplateVariableMap*" and "*allowTemplateFromHeader*"-
 # -add a new parameter to allow definition of template via header-  Fix problem with template via header based on other templating components (e.g. velocity)
