Hi Wesslan, Thanks for your explanation, it really sheds light on the whole issue. Now things are clear as regards the position of Struts 2. I've had a look at the links and looking at the examples it does confirm what you're saying. This brings me to another question why the name or version name Struts 2 ? This is confusing for those who don't have an understanding of what has happened between Struts 1 and Struts 2. I think it a good framework..especially Struts 2, based on what I've seen so far (I've not implemented it yet) and I quite like the support for external apps like jasper reports, Ajax, Free charts etc and the flexibility of creating a wepapp without the heavy codding that was required for Struts 1. Thanks

They're so similar that all you need to do to switch from Webwork 2.2 to Struts 2(.0.0) is rename some packages and property-files. What I mean to say is that it's, correct me if I'm wrong, nearly impossible to tell what has changed from Struts 1 to Struts 2 because they have different code bases. Ian Roughley has written a tutorial on InfoQ "Migrating Struts Apps to Struts 2" that maybe can be useful for you. http://www.infoq.com/articles/converting-struts-2-part1 http://www.infoq.com/articles/migrating-struts-2-part2 http://www.infoq.com/articles/migrating-struts-2-part3 Hth, Peter -----Original Message----- From: Don Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 22 januari 2007 11:18 To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Struts 2 Reference notes, guides/tutorial and justification Hi all, It seems there's been a major change form struts 1.2.x to struts 2x and the way it will be utilized or implemented by struts developers when building web applications. From what I can gather from developers using the snapshot or pre GA versions, there is a complete change from the action implementations to the struts tags etc as well as the support for popular techs like AJAX etc. Is there any resource out there that identifies these heavy changes made either in the form of a reference guide, tutorial or book ? All materials I've seen still concentrate on struts 1.2.x. I've had a look at the release notes for struts 2 on the Apache website, although it does mention the changes made and the once being made...but I don't think they address the issues regarding the changes properly, an example of each change, how it would have been done in previous versions and the reasons for the change will have made the release notes/documents a good reference point for people who are willing to move to struts 2. I am being face with making a decision on whether my developers switch to struts 2 or carry on with struts 1.2.x and without a proper documentation and justification of struts 2 I will find that very difficult to propose. What are your thoughts ? Regards. --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!
