The only reason I ask about the target date is that I've found Velocity a much better "View" :) for Struts and in order to make an argument to move to velocity-struts, we pretty much need to have an official release before taking it to management.
Anyhow I've converted a small app and everything seems good. There are a couple of things that needs to be address before a release in addition to all mentioned ones: 1) The bundled velocity should have the bug fixed for $reqParser.getInt($request, "key", 0) complaining about a null reference. 2) The 2 macros that I've submitted should be bundled within the VM_global_library.vm or in individual files within the same directory. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with what I see and can't wait to see an official release. I'll be glad to help out anyway I can. -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Bubna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 10:30 AM To: Velocity Developers List Subject: Re: Is there a target release date for the VelocityStrutssubproject?

(ex. > $application.removeAttribute("it_would_be_bad_to_remove_me") i also submitted a more hesitant patch/answer for this. it worked for me, but perhaps it needs further review/discussion? overall, i'm pretty happy with things. i did a fairly simple proof-of-concept app with velocity tools/struts some time back, and now i'm actually in the middle of rewriting a very large/complex app with it. it's going quite well so far. this time i've had to extend the VVS to do some more fancy things (layouts, custom error screen, etc.), but the rest is pretty much sufficient as is (except, of course, the current ParameterParser. i'm using my patched version.).
