Okay, this might be a question for the dev list, but bear with me for a minute.
My application is currently using Struts 2.0.8. I read about some security and bug fixes in 2.0.9 and 2.0.10. According to the Struts JIRA server, 2.0.10 has been complete since September 9th, so I figured I'd wait for that to get promoted to GA rather than upgrading to 2.0.9 and then to 2.0.10 shortly thereafter. I then noticed that 2.0.11 is also complete in JIRA, and has been since September 21st. My application is in early development, so I can afford to be an early adopter. To that end, I just downloaded Struts 2.0.11 from here: http://people.apache.org/builds/struts/2.0.11/ I upgraded the JAR files in my application and rebuilt. A quick sanity check revealed a JSP compile error: ConfigureRules.jsp:9:7: Static attribute must be a String literal, its illegal to specify an expression. <s:if test="${not empty rules}"> ^--^ I dug around for a minute and found something weird. The following is an excerpt from struts-tags.tld, which is in struts2-core-2.0.11.jar: <tag> <name>if</name> <tag-class>org.apache.struts2.views.jsp.IfTag</tag-class> <body-content>JSP</body-content> <description><![CDATA[If tag]]></description> <attribute> <name>id</name> <required>false</required> <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue> <description><![CDATA[id for referencing element. For UI and form tags it will be used as HTML id attribute]]></description> </attribute> <attribute> <name>test</name> <required>true</required> <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue> <description><![CDATA[Expression to determine if body of tag is to be displayed]]></description> </attribute> </tag> As you can see, the attribute "test" is configured not to allow runtime expressions. I went back and checked in 2.0.8, and rtexprvalue was true in that version. I downloaded 2.0.9, and it was true there too. I haven't downloaded 2.0.10. So, here's my question: Is that a deliberate change? If so, why, and what is the new way to accomplish what I was doing before? And a side question: once a version is "complete" in JIRA, what else has to happen before that version becomes GA?
