The main problem was that while applying a patch, I didn't 'svn add' one of the files. The problem was with the REST plugin. IMO, if 2.1.7 works for you, use it, I'd assume that you have your own QE procedures to make sure that the functionality you expect is working the way you expect it. The difference between a GA release and a non-promoted release (like 2.1.7) is that we (the developers) agree to support a GA release. However, as you probably know as an open source user, open source support means that we'll work to answer your questions here in the mailing lists and patch bugs as time permits. If you are starting your project now, and plan to release later, 2.1.8 should be compatible, so you can upgrade to it when it is released. Of course, there are plenty of people willing to provide professional support if necessary as well ;-) -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Author - Struts 2 In Practice Includes coverage of Struts 2.1, Spring, JPA, JQuery, Sitemesh and more http://www.manning.com/wannemacher --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
