I count not help myself not to ask the queston and still wonder why it was 
decided to build struts 2 on XWork instead of directing the effort to come up 
with struts 2 using something home grown technologies like Command chains ( 
that is currently used in struts 1.3 +). It makes u wonder what happens if 
XWORK for some reason or other goes out of commission and there are no 
releases. I do not see how struts 2 and xwork can be considered a merge to 
create a new framework (struts 2) while xwork is an independant and fully 
functional framework (when there  is a merge, the merge results in 1 new entity 
with merging old entities  are gone)

I have been an avid user of struts 1 for past few years and have switched to 
struts 2 to keep up with struts hype but I have not been able to run any 
project in my case on Websphere (except 2.0.11) with any struts 2 release. 
Struts 1 used to run like charm.

Subject: Re: Struts2 and production apps

I totally agree that this is currently a very bad situation. Jeromy's tip for 
static resources is a working fix for the 2.0.12 issue, as well as an uprgade 
to 2.0.13 testing version would be (this was no GA release). Please note that 
we fixed the static resource bug immediately when it was reported, and 
triggered the 2.0.13 build - but since there is still the conversion message 
issue, it will not become GA.

For the needed 2.0.14, we are simply waiting on XWork to be released, because 
the said conversion error problem is not a Struts issue. The bug was fixed in 
XWork code immediately after reporting, but XWork has it's own release cycle. 
That's why it is not in our hand to get out a Struts 2.0.14 release candidate, 
which technically will be nothing more than a 2.0.13 with a current XWork build.

I really hope that we will be getting a XWork release this weekend, and as soon 
as it is published, be sure that a 2.0.14 build will pushed out right away. And 
to all those out there using production apps, please feel invited to 
participate on the QA review and voting process for new releases with reporting 
integration test results, because that helps us to hunt down the real world 
issues before we consider a build GA.
