Hi Rainer,
thanks for your response and hints. For the first issue (ItemListTag) your
suggestion looks like the right solution (i also found the comments in the
source).
However for the second issue (LinkTag / Anchor) i am not so sure as the "href"
property already existed before and therefore i think its not the appropriate
replacement.
Previous struts APIs referred to 'targets' as list of element ids whose content
will be updated with the text returned from request
I couldn't find any similar property that could represent that nature. I also
do not really understand what that means, afaik "target" can have values like
"_blank, _parent ...".
I created a patch that affects 12 files and can easily be apply with Eclipse
(right click -> team -> Apply Patch ...). After you have applied the patch you
can find my
changes and comments by searching the string "* UPGRADE-struts 2.1.6" in the
source code.
I'll have to do further testing, but with the patch you can have a first look.
best regards,
Benjamin

Betreff: re: Uprading struts2 extensions to struts 2.1.6
Hi Benni,
first of all it's certainly a great idea to update our dependencies to the
latest struts2 release.
Thanks to Maven changing version is simple, however there seem to be quite a
few problems of which you must have already solved quite a few.
Without doing your work again I cannot compile and run the code, hence your
questions are hard to answer just by looking at the code.
But since this was my only option I gave it a go and this is my conclusion:
1. In the class ItemListTag you should replace getId()/setId() by
getVar()/setVar()
2. In the classes LinkTag and AnchorComponent you should replace the property
"targets" by "href" and use setHref() instead of setTargets() respectively.
That could do the job (as I said this is untested - only concluded from reading
the struts2 source code).
But of course you would have to test everything properly.
When you run the sample it should use this peace of code.
The next question is how do we get your changes merged with our code?
How many files did you have to change so far?
Rainer
