Stripes

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Fixed
• Affects Version/s: Release 1.5
• Fix Version/s: Release 1.5.2, Release 1.6
• Component/s: Tag Library
• Labels:

  None

Consider the following snippet from a given jsp file:

<c:set var="binding">MyAction.action</c:set>
...
<stripes:useActionBean binding="/stuff/${binding}" var="actionBean" />

I am simply binding an action bean to /stuff/MyAction.action

During jsp compilation, the stripes:useActionBean tag is validated through UseActionBeanTagExtraInfo

Unfortunately, this results in a ClassCastException because of the following statement in the validation in class UseActionBeanTagExtraInfo:
String var = tag.getAttributeString("var");

Indeed, debug shows, for some reason that I haven't investigated, that the value of the "binding" attribute is an object, and I cannot get any more information about it. Looks like the ${binding} variable hasn't been properly evaluated yet. And it cannot be cast to a String.

Note that:
1. the problem is solved by not using a variable: <stripes:useActionBean binding="/stuff/MyAction.action" var="actionBean" />
2. I had no problem with stripes 1.4.3 (which did not feature the UseActionBeanTagExtraInfo)
