Can I also suggest: (0) make *sure* it's a bug before you post a bug report. If you don't *know* that what you're experiencing is a *Struts* bug then the correct place to explore the problem is on the struts-user list. If what you're asking for is really an enhancement then mark it as such in Bugzilla. > > (1) open an enhancement request in bugzilla and attach your patch.

Bugzilla reports get sent to the dev list so you don't need to duplicate that. Committers are also pretty active on the user list ;-) > > (3) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that the people who share your opinion > can go to the enhancement request and vote for it. > > (4) be persistent.

If you've opened a Bugzilla report then it *will* get reviewed. But time is limited and certain issues will be dealt with more quickly. Straight-forward items and serious items tend to get closed more quickly, with those falling into the not serious, but not trival, taking a little longer. Keep investigating the problem. If you can come up with new information or a patch, then that will serve as a much more useful reminder than just repeating yourself.
