Fixing XW-559: No warnings when property or method doesn't exist in Action
Background at: http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/XW-559
Basically, Struts 2 sucks. ;-)
When prototyping a project with Struts 2, I found it annoying that
when I fat-fingered a property or method in my JSP, I was never given
an error by Struts. For people that are brand-new to Struts, I'd
imagine this would be even more frustrating. I believe we need to
fail-fast in most circumstances, particularly when "struts.devMode" is
on.
Sidenote: Currently "devMode" doesn't do me much good because it gives
me warnings for missing setters, which I generally don't care about.
It's the getters I care about.
So what's the best way to go about fixing this? I don't really care
about *all* the variables in the ValueStack, just the ones on my
immediate Action, and maybe it's parent.
XW-559 did have a patch against CompoundRootAccessor. However, after
running "svn up" this morning, that class no longer exists.
Also, I tried to use XWork 2.1-SNAPSHOT with Struts 2.0.9, but I get
the following error:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.GenericsObjectTypeDeterminer
Should I be using the latest version of Struts with the latest version
of XWork to attempt to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Matt

Is it worth trying to fix this issue (non-existent properties not
reported) if the underlying EL mechanism is going to change?
I guess the best thing to do is see if I can reproduce the problem
using xwork/struts-trunk.

XWork revved with most of the S2 revs; S2 2.0.6/XW
2.0.1, S2 2.0.8/XW 2.0.3, etc. Maybe start from the
higher revs and see if it can be backported in
necessary?

OK, so if I'm mostly concerned with the Struts 2.0.x branches, is
there a revision of XWork I can/should work with?
Thanks,

As far as I know, xwork 2.1 does work with struts 2.1 only. But - and that is
the bad news: I was not able to get 2.1 running (maybe trunk is broken?)
See the thread "NPE on struts2-showcase" from Wes as well.
