<h3 align="center">Struts 1.0 Released</h3>
<p>
(2001-June-15) The production release of Struts 1.0, an open source framework for
building Web applications, is now available for download at jakarta.apache.org. Struts
encourages application architectures based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern
and provides services common
to most Web applications. Struts helps developers deploy products that are reliable,
scaleable, and easier to maintain.
</p>
<p>
The Struts framework offers services in three primary areas:
</p>
<p>
* A controller servlet to dispatch requests to specific Action classes (provided by
the application developer).<br/>
* JSP custom tags to help developers create interactive form-based applications.<br/>
* Utility classes for XML parsing, automatic JavaBean population, and
internationalization of prompts and messages.
</p>
<p>
Struts' support for internationalization builds on top of the Java Locale API, and
have made it a popular choice for applications worldwide. Struts contributors include
developers from Australia, France, Russia, and other parts of the globe.
</p>
<p>
In addition to the Struts official distribution, several third-party libraries are
already available, which offer enhanced support for JSP templates, HTML form
validation, and automatic JavaBean creation. Struts has also been integrated with the
Expresso Framework distributed by
JCorporate Ltd. (jcorporate.com).
</p>
<p>
Struts can be used with a J2EE Application server to deploy distributed
applications, but will run under any compliant Servlet container (Servlet API 2.2+,
JSP 1.1+), including Tomcat 3.2 or later. In fact, Struts is already used as an
informal compliance test for Java Servlet
containers and J2EE Application servers
</p>
<p>
The Struts project was founded in May 2000 by Craig McClanahan. McClanahan is also
the lead developer of Tomcat 4.0, Sun's reference implementation for Java Servlet and
ServerPage containers. Both Tomcat and Struts are open source available under the
Apache Software License,
and may be downloaded at jakarta.apache.org.
</p>
<p>
Twenty-six independent developers contributed to the creation of Struts 1.0, with
the help of over 1300 subscribers to the Struts mailing lists.<br/>

<h3>18 January 2002 - Nested Taglib added to nightly build</h3>
<p>
Struts tags support a dotted notation to refer to a nested beans. The Nested
Talib extends this notation to automatically include a parent tag. Instead of
referring to a property as parent<strong>.</strong>child, "parent" can be
defined with the <code>nest</code> tag, and other Struts tags within that
tag can simply refer to the "child" property. Tags can be nested arbitarily
deep.

<h3>14 January 2002 - New Committer, Arron Bates </h3>
<p>
Arron Bates, known for his interesting and popular nesting extension to
the Struts taglibs has been elected as a Struts Committer.
</p>
<hr size="1" noshade=""/>
<h3>12 January 2002 - MultiApp Capability Added</h3>
<p>
Support for multiple application modules has been added to the nightly build.
Developers can now provide multiple Struts configuration files, each of which
can defines its own "module prefix". All of the "context-relative" values in
the Struts configuration are now "module-relative". Struts components which '
handle context-relative URIs now transparently handle module-relative URIs.
</p>
<p>
Existing configuration files, JavaServer Pages, or Actions do not need to be
changed to use this capability. The only change is to specify the module
prefix to be used with each additional configuration.
</p>
<p>
This feature allows different teams to work on different parts of an
application at the same time, without conflict over the configuration file.
It also allows Struts applications that were developed independantly to be
easily merged.
</p>
<p>
instead -- in other words, the request URI
equals "context path" + "application prefix" + "local value". This
works even for the default sub-application, because its prefix is
a zero-length string.
This works in the same fashion which is similar to the at the beginning of the
context-relative URI (similar to the way that a servlet container
chooses the web app to run based on the context path prefix of the
request URI.
