I have taken some time to check out the 1.3.4 version today -
upgrading my webapp to this version (was on 1.2.9) and the only other
issue(s) I came up with is that we used to distribute things like the
validator-rules.xml config and taglib tlds in the lib directory. I
releaize that these are now all packaged in the jar and the distro
does include the source - but I expect quite a few people will still
have these manually configured and will have difficulty finding them
in the distro.
I'm mixed about this; I find them cluttery. I guess if we've never
warned people before, then you're probably right, but I'm inclined to
try to deprecate them and steer people towards not expecting them in
the WEB-INF dir. Not something I feel very strongly about, but it's
my taste...
Also the new chain-config.xml - which any tiles user (like myself)
needs to be readily available so that the tiles commands can be added.
Again its difficult to find the chain-config.xml and it seems that the
*commented out* tiles commands have been removed. We should make it
easy to find the chain-config.xml and easy to configure for tiles (by
adding back the commented commands).
I had been thinking that the preferred strategy was to steer people
to change their config to read
"org/apache/struts/tiles/chain-config.xml" from the classpath
(included in struts-tiles-1.3.4.jar). I admit to ambivalence about
this vs. the "uncomment these lines" strategy, but since by default
most people wouldn't have removed the chain-config.xml from the ZIP,
I think it's easier to say "change this in web.xml" than "unpack this
thing from web.xml and then edit it."
