Four of the five errors are because of two methods in the

v1.1, and will be removed in v1.2.  They do not result from broken

been
deprecated in Struts v1.1 and apparently have been removed from Struts 
v1.2.
Ah, so it's us.

However the last error results from a broken interface
(forwardURL(HttpServletRequest, ForwardConfig).  It's a method that was
introduced in Struts v1.1 and obviously hasn't been deprecated.  The 
new
interface (with the added ModuleConfig parameter) presents no 
functional
change AFAICS so I see no reason why the older method can't be allowed 
to
stay (and be deprecated in v1.2 perhaps).  I think it must be an 
oversight
on their behalf.  What is the best way to go about working with the 
Struts
community - posting to the dev list?  posting a bug in bugzilla?
I'd just send them a friendly note...

Also - Mike is right ... Struts has been pretty actively developed for 
the
past year (since the 1.1 release) so the 1.2 release is very non-minor 
:)
Why aren't they calling it 2.0?

cheers,

What this means if you are right is that Struts broke an
interface on
a
non-major version change (1.1 -> 1.2) and gump found it.
It's up to us
to work with Struts community to show them that what they
are doing is
harmful to client projects, and work out a compromise.  Do
you want to
look into that?
I've been following the struts-dev mailing list half-heartedly (and I
thought I'd seen you post there once or twice as well), and
from what I've
been reading, 1.2 sounds like it may be a major change from 1.1.
