I've seen a number of posts on this list about the different ajax frameworks and how much value there is in a Struts 2 taglib that wraps the ajax library (vs using the libraries directly). As a long time user of Struts (1 & 2) and ajaxtags.sourceforge.net for the past year I can say there most definitely has been an advantage to having a tag library that provides atleast a very common set of ajax functionality. In hopes of seeing an even richer ajax tag lib offering in Struts I thought I'd share the following article http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3750716/Declaring+Dojo+for+Ajax.htm6 which, atleast at first glance, seems to offer an easier way for taglibs to leverage an ajax libraries capabilities. At the bare minimum it sounds like it offers some insulation from underlying version changes. Enjoy, Jon
