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...
I agree completely. We need to continue to push to make Struts easier, which
includes less configuration files to know about/edit. Since the example
applications are targeted towards new users, it is especially important to show
a minimal footprint to encourage simple development practices. Making "simple
things easy and the difficult things possible" comes to mind :)
Personally, I want to see us require _no_ XML configuration, eventually
embedding a heavily wildcarded struts-config.xml in the jar to cover most basic
cases, but that's another discussion... :)
