The Apache Struts project and the members of the OpenSymphony WebWork 2 project are coming together to create the next-generation action-based web application framework, Struts Action 2. Since the merger announcement, the WebWork 2.2.2 code has successfully passed the Apache Incubator to seed the new Struts Action 2 project.
WebWork was initially created by Rickard Oberg to improve on the ideas and functionality of the Jakarta Struts framework. (Now known as the Apache Struts Action framework.) Since then, the WebWork community has continued to extend and refine the framework's capabilities through a long series of releases, the latest of which, 2.2, brings advanced Ajax, templating, and Java 5 capabilities to its solid WebWork 2 foundation. While, to date, the WebWork and Struts Action codebases have overlapped, recent movements to bring consolidation to the web framework landscape have inspired both communities to work together. Apache Struts has recently reorganized its codebase into two subprojects, Shale and Action, as separate but equal web frameworks. Struts Shale serves the nascent JSF community, while Struts Action serves the established JSP/action-based community. Let me be the first to welcome our new Struts committers - Alexandru Popescu, Rene Gielen, Rainer Hermanns, Toby Jee, and Ian Roughley - and I extend the invitation to all to join this new project and help make Struts Action 2 a resounding success!
