Technically, it's still one application. The Struts 1 framework is exposed by a servlet, and the Struts 2 framework is exposed by a filter. But, the Java Web framework is designed so that you can use as many servlets and filters as you need, and provides a useful "layer" between the two.
The simplest thing is to let the Struts 1 portion answer the *.do URIs and let the Struts 2 portion answer the *.action URIs. Everyone can share session and application scope as needed. One page can submit to the other portion, just include the extension as part of the URI, as if you were calling a HTML page. If you do want to run the Struts 1 Action classes under Struts 2, there is the plugin that Wes mentioned. But, there is not a solution that lets the Struts 1 JSPs render under a Struts 2 Action. (Some tags would, but there would be issues with the HTML tags.) Recently, someone suggesting writing a new taglib for Struts 2 that used the Struts 1 tag API, which is an interesting idea. With the plugin, you might then be able to run Struts 1 pages and Actions under Struts 2. I believe people are actually working on such a thing, but there's no telling when it would be ready to use. -- HTH, Ted <http://www.husted.com/ted/blog/> On 10/4/07, Leena Borle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi , > I have started developing my application using Struts-2.
