A few weeks ago there was a rather lengthy thread (a couple of them actually) regarding adding Ajax functionality to the Struts HTML taglib. Well, it's done! :) (well, mostly it's done).
v1.0 alpha 1 is now available via CVS at struts.sf.net. I am awaiting a reply before I can create an actual page on the site for the project, so for now CVS is the only option. The module name is "ajaxtags", or if you use the web browser you will have to select any of the other projects, then click "struts" as the current directory, then you will see ajaxtags. For the moment, if you have questions or comments, send them directly to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
There is no complete distribution at the moment, so you'll have to grab everything and build it yourself. The included Ant build script should work fine, all dependencies are included in the source directories. I just realized I didn't included any information in the readme about building it, I'll have to do that, but it's pretty straight-forward. The only "interesting" part is that during the build process, the struts.jar in web-inf/src will be used as the source jar. You will get an updated version of it in web-inf/lib when you build (the original is not altered), so to use this in your own projects just grab the struts.jar in web-inf/lib and the struts-html.tld in web-inf, that should be all you need.
At the moment, only Struts 1.2.4 is supported. There is a sample webapp included to demonstrate some of the functionality. I will expand this as time goes by. Also, the list of handlers will grow, but I suspect the two most common ones are there right now, so I felt OK with announcing it at this point.
Hope someone finds it useful!
