Our tooling/app server vender along with our company has identified 1.2.9 as needed for the security fixes. I suppose if we went further they wouldn't support it or on the App Server or in our IDE (GUI drag and drop, fancy struts config GUI view) which are tightly coupled.
So I'm restricted to this version. Also considering the versions we're upgrading from it's probably not best to bite off more than we can chew. I want to say thanks to everyone who responded. -----Original Message----- From: Alberto A. Flores [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2007 8:48 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: struts 1.2.9 and cancel button By the way, have you considered using Struts 1.3.8? I have code (currently) that works just fine and that does what you need (forward to a *.do on cancel). Clearly, you don't need to upgrade right now (you can handle your use case in your method controller), however it's worth considering since 1.3.8 solves a lot bugs and security fixes.
