That justification doesn't cut it, for me at least. Based on our past behaviour, it's very likely that there will be something fairly stable that people can pick up as a nightly build long, long before the final release. That will likely still be long before the major app servers support Servlets 2.4. Don't get me wrong - I'd love to be able to rely on the latest specs. But I doubt that many people have access to nightly builds of WebLogic or WebSphere so that they could use a version of Struts that rely on them. That means that the Struts nightly builds will be useful only to the fortunate few who don't need to wait for the app server vendors to catch up. If the next version of Struts relies on Servlets 2.4 / JSP 2.0, then all my personal itches will be on hold for quite some time, because I'll be stuck with using Struts 1.2.x until the app servers support Servlets 2.4. ;-( -- Martin Cooper > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 10:09 AM > > To: 'Struts Developers List', 'Struts Developers List' > > Subject: [VOTE] Move minimum to 2.3 (was Re: Changing how > > CommonsMultipartRequestHandler handles text parameters?) > > > > It was once proposed that we "leap frog" Serlvet 2.3 and go straight to 2.4 for > > Struts 2.x.
