In the meantime the Struts community has focused on pushing the Struts 2 framework forward, with as many as 23 releases as of April 2013. Taking this into account, announcing Struts 1 EOL is just the official statement that we have been lacking volunteer support for some time now and that users should not rely on a properly maintained framework state when utilizing Struts 1 in projects. See the following Q/A section for more details.</p><div class="section"><h2>Questions and Answers<a name="Questions_and_Answers"></a></h2> +<ul> + <li><p><b>With the announcement of Struts 1 EOL, what happens to Struts 1 resources?</b></p><p>All resources will stay where they are. The documentation will still be accessible from the Apache Struts homepage, as well as the downloads for all released Struts 1.x versions. All of the Struts 1 source code can be found in the Apache Struts subversion repository, now and in future. All released Maven artifacts will still be accessible in Maven Central.</p></li> + <li><p><b>Given a major security problem or a serious bug is reported for Struts 1 in near future, can we expect a new release with fixes?</b></p><p>As of now, actually no - that is what the EOL announcement essentially is about. Since the end of support is reached, you will either need to find mitigations, patch the existing Struts 1 source code yourself or migrate your project to another web framework.</p></li> + <li><p><b>Is there an immediate need to eliminate Struts 1 from my projects?</b></p><p>As far as the Struts team is currently aware of, there is no urgent issue posing the immediate need to eliminate Struts 1 usage from your projects. However, you should be aware that security and bug fixes will no longer be provided. If in future such flaws are found you will need to take action as described in the preceding answer.</p></li> + <li><p><b>We plan to start a new project based on Struts 1. Can we still do so?</b></p><p>Basically yes, but we would not recommend doing so. As long as no code line is written it is very easy to conceptually select an alternative web framework such as Struts 2.</p></li> + <li><p><b>We want to migrate our project from Struts 1 to another web framework. What would you recommend?</b></p><p>You should be aware that there is currently no drop-in replacement for Struts 1. You will need to adapt your existing code to the framework of choice. Basically every action based Java web framework is a possible candidate. We as the Apache Struts Team can highly recommend investigating Struts 2 as a successor framework - it is modern, highly decoupled, feature rich, well maintained and successfully running in many mission critical projects in the wild. It shares the same basic principles with Struts 1, but offers a highly improved architecture and API. Other alternatives are e.g. Spring Web MVC, Grails or Stripes.</p></li> + <li><p><b>My friends / colleagues and I would like to see Struts 1 being maintained again. What can we do?</b></p><p>You are free to put effort in Struts 1. There are basically two possible ways to do so: either fork the existing source, or engage in community building within the Apache Struts Project. If there are enough people demonstrating their will and ability to provide patches, maintenance and oversight in the long run, there is nothing holding us back from putting Struts 1 back into maintenance with the help of these volunteers.</p></li> +</ul></div> + </div> + </div> + </div> + + <hr/> + + <footer> + <div class="container-fluid"> + <div class="row span12">Copyright © 2000-2013 + <a href="http://www.apache.org/";>The Apache Software Foundation</a>. + All Rights Reserved. + + </div> + + <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<div class="row span12">Apache Struts, Struts, Apache, the Apache feather logo, and the Apache Struts + project logos are trademarks of The Apache Software Foundation.</div> + + + </div> + </footer> + </body> +</html>

Numerous companies adopted Struts 1 as a strategic platform and stayed with it even after JSF was introduced as a standardized Java EE framework for web application development. In the early 2000s, most job offerings in the space of Java-based web technology came with Struts 1 as a must-have skill. Even nowadays many important web sites and web based user interfaces rely on Struts 1 technology. It is furthermore remarkable that many later introduced web frameworks such as Spring MVC or WebWork were crucially inspired by Struts 1.</p><p>Struts 1 had its last release - version 1.3.10 - in December 2008. In the meantime the Struts community has focused on pushing the Struts 2 framework forward, with as many as 23 releases as of this writing.

However, users should be aware that security and bug fixes will no longer be provided. Apart from that, all Struts 1 related resources and downloads will be accessible from the <a class="externalLink" href="http://struts.apache.org";>Apache Struts project homepage</a> now and in future.</p><p>While generally possible, the Apache Struts project team woul d not recommend to start new projects based on Struts 1 any more. Project teams are advised to examine alternative web frameworks instead. While any action based Java web framework is a potential candidate to re-use Struts 1 architectural experience or migrate existing Struts-1-based applications, the Apache Struts team can highly recommend investigating Struts 2 as a successor framework. Struts 2 is modern, highly decoupled, feature rich, well maintained and successfully running in many mission critical projects in the wild. It shares the same basic principles with Struts 1, but offers a highly improved architecture, API and solution portfolio.
