I think Ted was saying that if anyone would like to start working on 2.x spec that he would be happy to help by posting it to the website, etc. He is not saying that he is preparing one and posting it.

Perhaps Craig can comment more on this. -james [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jamesholmes.com/struts/ --- "Soomar, Muki (R.)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > <"..Anytime anyone wants to start work on a Struts > 2.x specification that > focussed on things like a class and element names > and even overall > infrastructure, I would be happy to post it on the > Struts site for > community review and improvement. .."> > > Ted, > It would be a great idea to start posting the 2.x > specs for community review. > I would look forward to looking at the 2.x specs as > would many others I think. > > Regards, > Muki Soomar > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ted Husted [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 10:25 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: stuts-config.xml file > > > Yes, the naming of all the classes and elements in > Struts could be > overhauled. > > The framework grew in the telling and as it evolved > some of the names > drifted. > > The good thing about a nightly build, is that > everything becomes > available to the community as soon as it is written. > > > The bad thing about a nightly build is that things > like classnames get > locked down early and then become difficult to > change. > > To retain backward compatability, it is not likely > that issues like this > woule be addressed in anywhere in a Struts 1.* > release. > > Although, I think working up a specification for > Struts 2.x that > addressed these and other issues would be very > helpful. > > Anytime anyone wants to start work on a Struts 2.x > specification that > focussed on things like a class and element names > and even overall > infrastructure, I would be happy to post it on the > Struts site for > community review and improvement. > > It would not have to be a comprehensive document, > just a starting point > for incremental refinement and extension. > > -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY US > -- Developing Java Web Applications with Struts > -- Tel: +1 585 737-3463 > -- Web: http://husted.com/about/services > > > "Soomar, Muki (R.)" wrote: > > > > I am still new to struts and going through the > documentation. > > Here are some general questions for the gurus who > understand the > > DTDs for struts-config.xml file and its usage. > > > > <action> element > > 1.
