I gave you a specific, but you did not respond, Joe. Can you tell me why?
OK, ready to reply.
Basically, we're aiming to release a version of Struts 1.3.0 which is completely backwards compatible with Struts 1.2.x. At this point, the template method works and provides backwards compatibility; furthermore, the nature of the ComposableRequestProcessor is such that people who are ready to press forward with new designs can do so with minimal impact to the released codebase and with whatever level of concern for backwards compatibility is appropriate.
In short, if you want to use the Strategy method, please, feel free. If you want to put up some web pages explaining to people how to use it and perhaps providing code, I think that would be very nice. Over time, it may make sense to change the way that the Struts core code works to use the Strategy pattern. Or, it may not.
For example, look at Hubert's FormDef project. He had an idea for a different way to use Struts; he put it together and made it available to people. People who are ready to use it can do so.
Joe
