Hi Ted Sorry for bothering you. Recently I looked at Struts2 project pages and all there looks really exciting :). I just want to ask how stable is the current struts2 version. I am at the moment before starting with new, very big feature in our web client and we are considering using struts2 for it. What are the planns for it?? Do you plan significant changes in the future. What is your opinion about this, I mean, is such step it a big risk at the moment??? Thanks in advance for your hints !!!
Struts 2.0 is very stable. It's the direct descendant of WebWork 2, and we have dubbed the 2.0.x series the "compatiblity release". The bits themselves are ready-to-go. We're just finishing-up on peripheral concerns that don't affect the code itself. In Struts 2.0, we won't be straying far from the path WebWork 2 has already blazed. WW2 powers some of the greatest web applications on the planet, including Confluence and Jive Forums. There's no arguing with success! Though, since web development is *still* more work than it should be, I am hoping that there will be significant changes in the future. But, these changes would build on the solid base provided by Struts 2.0. The Interceptor architecture is elegant and extensible, and I'm sure we can take it whereever we want to go. And, just because we make changes down the road, that doesn't mean other people have to follow along. In the Struts 1 series, right now we are shipping Struts 1.3.5. Meanwhile, I'd say that a majority of Struts applications in production are running on Struts 1.1, which shipped in 2003. If someone has 1.1 (or 1.0) questions, there's still plenty of people on the list ready to answer. How's that for stability? :) -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
