Matt Raible commented on WW-2160:
---------------------------------

With allowStaticMethodAccess set to false, is it still possible to refer to Constants using @my.package.name.Class@CONSTANT?

> Currently, it is possible to call any static method in OGNL expressions.  Unfortunately, there have been several recent cases where Struts allowed a user to execute any OGNL expression, and combined with the ability to call static methods, these security issues have been severe.
> First, Struts needs to provide the ability for a user to turn off or on static method access.  Second, this feature should be disabled by default as a security precaution.
