Here is a summary of the changes: * Struts has been updated so that the ActionServlet initializes chain catalogs using the value of the init parameter '''chainConfig''', which should consist of one or more paths to XML files which can be processed by the standard Chain [http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/chain/apidocs/org/apache/commons/chain/config/ConfigParser.html ConfigParser]. The paths may be either classpath resources or servlet context resources; the initialization process has methods for checking in both places without additional configuration. This and the changes to the RequestProcessor obsolete the CatalogConfiguratorPlugIn. If no '''chainConfig''' parameter is specified, then Struts defaults to looking for '''org/apache/struts/chain/chain-config.xml''' which is included in struts.jar. If any '''chainConfig''' value is specified, then if you also want Struts to use the default config, you must include it in the list of config files. * Struts has been adjusted to use the ComposableRequestProcessor by default. You may switch back to the original RequestProcessor by specifying it as the '''processorClass''' in the '''<controller>''' element of your '''struts-config''' file. By default, the ComposableRequestProcessor begins processing with the '''servlet-complete''' command in the '''struts''' catalog. This may be changed by specifying the '''catalog''' and '''command''' attributes in the '''<controller>''' element of your '''struts-config''' file. @@ -21,8 +21,8 @@ === Where can I get it? === -[http://www.apache.org/~germuska/struts-1.3.0-dev/ Non-CVS development builds] last updated 2005-01-10 +[http://www.apache.org/~germuska/struts-1.3.0-dev/ Non-SVN development builds] last updated 2005-01-10 -The archives available above are to output from a '''maven dist''' run against a local copy.
