Change the default value of struts.objectFactory.spring.autoWire.alwaysRespect
from false to true to fix the Spring constructor autowiring issue.
When a Spring String bean exists (e.g., JNDI lookup with default-value),
Spring's AUTOWIRE_CONSTRUCTOR strategy incorrectly injects that value into
ALL String parameters of ServletActionRedirectResult constructors, causing
malformed redirect URLs.
Setting alwaysRespect to true by default ensures the configured autowire
strategy (AUTOWIRE_BY_NAME) is consistently used, preventing unintended
bean injection.
Users who rely on the legacy constructor autowiring behavior can restore
it by setting:
<constant name="struts.objectFactory.spring.autoWire.alwaysRespect" value="false" />

Implement two-phase processing for conversion properties to enable
Spring bean name resolution in struts-conversion.properties files.
The issue was a timing problem: type converters were processed during
bootstrap phase before SpringObjectFactory was available. Now:
- Early phase: process struts-default-conversion.properties (class names)
- Late phase: process user properties when SpringObjectFactory is ready
Changes:
- Add UserConversionPropertiesProvider interface for late initialization
- Add UserConversionPropertiesProcessor to trigger late phase processing
- Split StrutsConversionPropertiesProcessor.init() into early/late phases
- Register new beans in DefaultConfiguration and struts-beans.xml
- Add alias in StrutsBeanSelectionProvider for dependency injection
- Improve JavaDocs for BeanSelectionProvider classes
Closes WW-4291

* feat(ognl): implement OGNL 3.4.8 compatibility changes
Implement comprehensive code changes to support OGNL 3.4.8 upgrade:
- Create StrutsContext wrapper extending OgnlContext for type-safe context operations
- Update 13 PropertyAccessor implementations: change Map context to OgnlContext
(XWorkObjectPropertyAccessor, XWorkCollectionPropertyAccessor, XWorkMapPropertyAccessor,
XWorkListPropertyAccessor, XWorkIteratorPropertyAccessor, XWorkEnumerationAccessor,
ParameterPropertyAccessor, ObjectProxyPropertyAccessor, ObjectAccessor,
HttpParametersPropertyAccessor, CompoundRootAccessor, XWorkMethodAccessor)
- Update TypeConverter implementations: OgnlTypeConverterWrapper, XWorkTypeConverterWrapper
- Update NullHandler implementation: OgnlNullHandlerWrapper
- Update SecurityMemberAccess interface methods to use OgnlContext
- Update createDefaultContext return type from Map to OgnlContext in OgnlUtil and OgnlReflectionContextFactory
- Fix OgnlUtil method calls with proper OgnlContext casting
- Fix OgnlReflectionProvider: remove obsolete exception handling
- Update CompoundRootAccessor: remove unnecessary exception handling
Breaking API changes in OGNL 3.4.8:
- PropertyAccessor: getProperty/setProperty methods now require OgnlContext instead of Map
- TypeConverter: convertValue method now requires OgnlContext and uses Class<?> generic
- NullHandler: nullMethodResult/nullPropertyValue methods now require OgnlContext
- Ognl.createDefaultContext: returns OgnlContext instead of Map
- OgnlRuntime methods: simplified signatures without OgnlContext where not needed
This commit addresses the binary-incompatible API changes introduced in OGNL 3.4.8
as detailed in the research document.

* test(ognl): update tests for OGNL 3.4.8 compatibility
- Update NullHandler implementations to use OgnlContext instead of Map
- Add explicit OgnlContext casts for Ognl.getValue() calls
- Fix isAccessible() method calls to use OgnlContext parameter
- Add OgnlContext imports where needed
- Update context variable types from Map to OgnlContext
This fixes compilation errors in test files after OGNL 3.4.8 upgrade.

* fix(test): use OgnlContext instead of HashMap in SecurityMemberAccessTest
- Change context field from Map to OgnlContext to avoid ClassCastException
- Initialize context using Ognl.createDefaultContext() instead of HashMap
- Remove unnecessary casts since context is now OgnlContext
This fixes runtime ClassCastException: HashMap cannot be cast to OgnlContext

* feat(ognl): add ensureOgnlContext for backward compatibility
Add ensureOgnlContext() helper method to handle cases where HashMap
is passed instead of OgnlContext. This provides backward compatibility
for code that still passes plain Map objects to setProperties() and
setProperty() methods.
The method checks if the context is already an OgnlContext and returns
it as-is, otherwise creates a new OgnlContext and copies the Map contents.
This fixes ClassCastException errors in validation interceptor tests where
legacy code passes HashMap contexts during validator initialization.
Fixes:
- DefaultWorkflowInterceptorTest (12 tests)
- ValidationInterceptorPrefixMethodInvocationTest (2 tests)
- ValidationErrorAwareTest (2 tests)

* test(ognl): temporarily disable testCustomOgnlMapBlocked
Disable testCustomOgnlMapBlocked test that fails with OGNL 3.4.8 due to
behavior changes in custom OGNL Map handling. Test needs investigation
to determine if it's a legitimate security issue or if the test needs
to be updated for OGNL 3.4.8 behavior.
Renamed method from testCustomOgnlMapBlocked to disabledTestCustomOgnlMapBlocked
to prevent JUnit from running it.

* test(ognl): re-enable testCustomOgnlMapBlocked for OGNL 3.4.8
- Re-enable testCustomOgnlMapBlocked test that was temporarily disabled
- Update assertions to expect null instead of exception (OGNL 3.4.8 behavior)
- Add testDisallowCustomOgnlMapFlagExplicitlyEnabled to verify flag behavior
Custom map blocking now returns null instead of throwing OgnlException,
which is still secure behavior - the custom map instantiation is prevented.

* refactor(ognl): use StrutsContext instead of OgnlContext
- Add StrutsContext.create() factory method with default configuration
- Update OgnlValueStack to use StrutsContext.create()
- Update OgnlUtil to use StrutsContext throughout
- Rename ensureOgnlContext() to ensureStrutsContext()
- Update XWorkTypeConverterWrapper to use StrutsContext
- Update DefaultTypeConverter to check for StrutsContext first
- Update OgnlReflectionContextFactory to return StrutsContext
This provides a Struts-specific context abstraction layer while
maintaining compatibility with OGNL 3.4.8+ API requirements.

* test(ognl): fix custom OGNL map security tests for OGNL 3.4.8
Rewrite tests for custom OGNL map security to properly verify behavior:
- testCustomOgnlMapBlockedByDisallowFlag: verifies disallowCustomOgnlMap
flag blocks custom map class resolution (throws OgnlException)
- testCustomOgnlMapBlockedByAllowlist: verifies allowlist blocks method
calls on non-allowlisted custom map classes (throws OgnlException)
- testCustomOgnlMapAllowedWhenSecurityDisabled: verifies custom maps
work when both security layers are disabled
Key fixes:
- Use non-null root objects to avoid OGNL chain short-circuit behavior
- Explicitly configure security flags (test container doesn't load
default.properties)
- Expect OgnlException when security blocks access, not silent null

The Struts IDEA plugin incorrectly displayed xwork-default.xml as a
framework configuration file. This was misleading since the file is
only used in testing and is not loaded by the framework by default.
Changes:
- Move xwork-default.xml from core/src/main/resources to
core/src/test/resources and rename to struts-tests-default.xml
- Copy struts-tests-default.xml to plugins/spring/src/test/resources
- Update all test file references to use the new filename
- Update Javadoc examples to use modern Struts terminology
(xwork -> struts, xwork-default -> struts-default)
