Just to be clear, I'm not complaining about the Dojo plugin being deprecated ( 
I understand the reasons for deprecation ).  I was just trying to determine the 
future of the Struts Ajax <sx: tags so I can find an alternative solution for 
my needs if need be.
 
Gus.

Let's be clear about this.

* Lots of people think that the Dojo-based AJAX tags would be useful if they 
worked with the latest versions of Dojo, or some other toolkit.
* Few, if any, people want to use them in their current form.
* Nobody has stepped up and offered to migrate these tags to anything else, 
whether that's a newer version of Dojo or another toolkit.

So, the short answer is, step up or shut up.

We'd be happy to see someone take on this task, but I have had it up to _here_ 
with people who complain and expect someone else to do the work.

I think there should be a warning-sign about this on the web ( 
http://struts.apache.org/2.1.6/index.html). Built-in AJAX-support (first-class 
AJAX support) is one of the things Struts2 announces as a main-feature, and 
with the dojo-plugin going away this isn't true any more.

This means Struts-2.1 no longer has any decent ui-tags?
