All, This is my first post for the Tomcat project, and I do hope it is the right place for this question, as it is involving a change in the development branch.
I have implemented my own EL based on the EL API. The EL API interface provided in Tomcat I used up to v7.0.12 made all my test pass, and then when I switched to v7.0.14, I have two errors returned when accessing an Integer instance from a Map of properties. Please see below the patch I have extracted between v7.0.12 and v7.0.14 explaining the issue I have seen and I would like to understand the reason of returning an Object.class and not the class type of the value stored ? Thanks in advance for your help, and if this is not the right place I should ask this question, just tell me and I will send it to the user mailing list. diff -uNrbB javax/el/ListELResolver.java ../../apache-tomcat-7.0.14-src/java/javax/el/ListELResolver.java --- javax/el/ListELResolver.java 2011-04-01 17:16:46 +0000 +++ ../../apache-tomcat-7.0.14-src/java/javax/el/ListELResolver.java 2011-05-09 21:44:02 +0000 @@ -74,8 +74,7 @@ throw new PropertyNotFoundException( new ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException(idx).getMessage()); } - Object obj = list.get(idx); - return (obj != null) ? obj.getClass() : null; + return Object.class; } return null; diff -uNrbB javax/el/MapELResolver.java ../../apache-tomcat-7.0.14-src/java/javax/el/MapELResolver.java --- javax/el/MapELResolver.java 2011-04-01 17:16:46 +0000 +++ ../../apache-tomcat-7.0.14-src/java/javax/el/MapELResolver.java 2011-05-09 21:44:02 +0000 @@ -64,8 +64,7 @@ if (base instanceof Map<?,?>) { context.setPropertyResolved(true); - Object obj = ((Map<?,?>) base).get(property); - return (obj != null) ? obj.getClass() : null; + return Object.class; } return null; Best regards, -- Emmanuel Poitier- Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Enman Telephone:+33 (0)2 54 67 15 38 Mobile:+33 (0)64 9461 586 Email:emmanuel.poit...@enman.fr Web site:http://enman.fr
