I'm not finding any announcement on a struts2 release resolving the
jakarta (two years ago) vs javax namespace problem. Is there a target
date for a resolution?
I'm still thinking about how to perform such a migration. I initially
thought to make the Core of Struts JavaX independent, yet this
requires introducing an additional abstraction layer to be backed
either by JavaX or Jakarta - this is a lot of work and some parts of
the code are strictly additive to JavaX which makes it almost
impossible to port.
Right now I'm more up to switching into JDK11 and Jakarta in Strus 7.x
and leaving Struts 6.x as is - JDK8 & JavaX.
Still there are some major issues to resolve:
- file-upload support, since Servlet API 3.1 it's possible to use
@MultipartConfig on servlets bun not on filters (Struts uses filters),
Commons Fileupload isn't released yet ->
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FILEUPLOAD-309
- the Apache Tiles project has been retired, we copied all the sources
into the Struts Tiles plugin to keep it going, yet it will need
changes when switching to Jakarta namespace
https://github.com/apache/struts/pull/608
and there are probably other unwinded problems yet :)
