Rene Gielen commented on WW-4188:
---------------------------------
[~mahendranmahesh] Thanks for your report and your suggestions. To clarify,
please be aware that when skipping multiple releases for upgrading, you will
have to follow the version and migration notes for each intermediate release up
to your target version.
Please also understand that this is public benefit Open Source with volunteers
working for free on the project. There is nothing like "requiring" to have them
change something. This is an option you might get from a commercial product
with paid SLAs, though even this is usually not guaranteed. In turn, our
volunteers are always open to users humbly asking for a change - something you
might not get from every commercial product :)
> In struts tag lib, required attribute removed in latest version ie 2.3.15.1

> Key: WW-4188
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4188
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Other
> Affects Versions: 2.3.15.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: mahendran
> Assignee: Lukasz Lenart
> Labels: struts-tags-required-attribute
> Fix For: 2.5
>
>
> we are using struts 2.0.5 and 2.3.4.1 in our applications. And we decided to
> migrate to 2.3.15.1 to get the security fixes.
> we use struts tags to render UI components and using 'required' attribute to
> get the '*' along with the components.
> In the version 2.3.15.1, the attribute required is dropped, and we need to
> change to requiredLabel to get the same effect, this increases
> migration&testing effort for a application which has 1000+pages
> Hence we require a backward compatibility for 'required' attribute in struts
> tags.
> Also nowhere in the migration document this information is specified. This
> makes the struts migration as block-box. Hence we require a proper migration
> document which should specify what are all the changes required in the
> application to migrate the struts.
> But we managed to get the '*' in UI by replacing
> UIBean.class,AbsctactUITag.class and struts.tld from 2.3.4.1 version.
