The following page has been changed by TedHusted: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsActionRelease134 The comment on the change is: Flesh-out major features section ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi - [Highlight new features?] + Major changes since Struts Action 1.2 include + + * Composable Request Processor + * Arbitrary configuration properties + * Opt-In Cancel Handling + * Enhanced Global Exception Handlers + * Extends attribute + * "isCommitted" Exception Handling + * Postback Actions + * Wildcard ActionConfig properties + + Composable Request Processor: For Action 1.3, we turned the request processor methods into Commands that are part of a flexible Chain of Commands. + + Arbitrary configuration properties: Most every Struts configuration element now accepts a map of key/value pairs. Arbitrary configuration properties let us externalize more of our configurations, encouraging reuse. + + Opt-In Cancel Handling: In Struts Action 1.3, the Cancel token is only honored if the new property "cancellable" is set for the Action Mapping. If the Cancel token is present, but cancellable is not set, then an InvalidCancelException is thrown. The InvalidCancelExeption may be caught by a Declarative Exception Handler, like any other Exception. + + Enhanced Global Exception Handlers: We now support use of global exception handlers in cases when no ActionConfig has yet been identified, as in with "preprocessing" commands in a custom request processing chain. + + Extends attribute: In the Struts configuration file, we can now use the extends attribute to adopt default settings from another element, as we already can in the Tiles configuration files. + + "isCommitted" Exception Handling: When using Tiles, sometimes the response is already committed when an exception occurs. Now, the ExceptionHandler tests response.isCommitted , and, if true, includes the configured view path, rather than forwarding to it. + + Postback Forms: The action attribute of the Form taglib is now optional. If omitted, the original URI of the original request is used. + + Wildcard ActionConfig properties: Wildcards can now be used in the properties of an ActionConfig. + + The 1.3.x series of Struts Action Framework has a minumum requirement of the following specification versions: + + * Java Servlet 2.3 and JavaServer Pages (JSP) 1.2 + * Java 2 Standard Platform Edition (J2SE) 1.4 The release notes are available online at: --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
