Joe, Considering how many problems we have had over the past 18 months with JRUN 3.1, and the lack of support, I wish I could switch. Particularly since we will not be able to upgrade to JRUN 4.0 any time in the near future, as I was hoping to do, due to budget constraints. But our currently deployed applications do use the JRUN tag library, which at the time had some VERY nice tags for database transactions, compared to those available under the Jakarta projects (at that time). So I am tied into this server for the time being. Which is why I would like to move away from JRUN's tag libraries to Struts (MVC architecture), and to the JSTL/Struts tag libraries for our upcoming projects. This way, I will end up with applications that are NOT application server dependent, and hopefully move away from JRUN as an application server sometime in the future.
Oh well, I can still use Struts 1.02, but since 1.1b2 was pretty stable, and it integrated Tiles, I was hoping to somehow find a way to utilize 1.1b2 in our upcoming projects. Thank you for your help, and if I ever get a response from the JRUN Support group, I will post it on this list server also for future reference. Thanks again!

Hi Celeste, I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, but have you considered using another (free) container besides JRun 3.1? We have been running tests of our application on the latest-greatest integrated JBoss3/Tomcat4 distribution, and it works very well. JBoss supports all the usual J2EE services, and the new Tomcat container is leaps and bounds faster than its predecessors. If you already build and deploy with Ant, then testing out a new container should be pretty easy. Also, I guarantee you the mailing list support for open-source is better than what you've been experiencing with JRun. :) b.t.w., I'm not knocking JRun, I hear the latest version works very well, and I do like their Jini-enabled clustering architecture (provided it works as they claim, of course). Judging from list traffic, 3.1 doesn't play too nice with others though. Also, don't let this sour you on Struts--I've been working with it for almost a year now on two completely different applications, and it's been a bastion of sanity in what would otherwise be an impossibly snarled codebase. peace, Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Craig R.
