Apache Struts to release Struts - 1.3.0 - as the "Action Framework"</h4> - <p> - The Apache Struts flagship product, - the leading web application framework for Java, - is now known as the "Struts Action Framework". - </p> - - <p> - To make the framework easier to maintain, - Apache Struts subdivided the original monolithic distribution - into several - subprojects. - Each subproject has its own website, documentation, and - release cycle, - and may be downloaded separately. - For consistency, the original core framework component also - has its own name - now: "Struts Action Framework". - The JARs and external dependencies for the extensions to - Struts Action Framework - are being bundled into a convenient distribution known as the - "Struts Action - Framework Library". - </p> - - <p> - The Struts Action Framework 1.3.0 release will include several - exciting new - features, including: - </p> - - <ul> - <li>Composable Request Processor</li> - <li>ActionDynaForm interfaces</li> - <li>Arbitrary configuration properties</li> - <li>Catalog and Command Elements</li> - <li>Enhanced Global Exception Handlers</li> - <li>Extends attribute for XML configurations</li> - <li>"isCommitted" Exception Handling</li> - <li>Postback Actions</li> - <li>Wildcard ActionConfig properties</li> - </ul> - - <p> - The key change in this release is the "composable request - processor". - The request processor is the framework's "kernal". - The request processor methods are now command objects in a - flexible chain of - commands. - Rather than subclassing a monolithic object, - developers can now just replace commands with their own - implementations. - Commands can also be inserted or removed, if needed, - to extend or streamline the request processing gauntlet, - to better meet the needs of different kinds of applications. - </p> - - <p> - The Struts Action Framework 1.3.0 release, - and other milestones on the Apache Struts roadmap, - were discussed at ApacheCon on Tuesday, December 13, 2005, in - a talk, - entitled "Struts 2006: An Embarrassment of Riches". - <a href="http://people.apache.org/~husted/apachecon-2005-action.pdf";> -

Symphony WebWork, - a leader in technical innovation, are working to merge their - communities - and codebases. - </p> - - <p> - "A merger is an elegant approach to evolution of existing - applications - based on action-oriented frameworks," - said Craig McClanahan, founder of the Struts project. - </p> - - <p> - The merger seems like a win-win for the frameworks. - "The technical benefit is that WebWork has already done most - everything - that is on the Struts Action roadmap," noted Ted Husted, a - Struts committer. - "This is a way that [Struts] shops can use incremental - integration to take - advantage of new technologies that are already part of - WebWork, such as Spring." - </p> - - <p> - "My hope is to take advantage of a larger community (Struts) - to allow - all of us to do a bit less individual effort." - said Patrick Lightbody of WebWork. - "I would expect moving to Struts lets us focus on our families - and day - jobs a bit more." - </p> - - <p> - Apache projects help developers balance day jobs with - volunteer work - through the practice of collaborative developement. - Decisions are made jointly by the core community, - rather than by one or two key individuals. - The projects are organized so that individual developers can - focus on - other matters for a time, - and then return to the development community as schedules - allow. - </p> - - <p> - Over the past few months, - Apache Struts has more than doubled its number of active - committers. - With the addition of two WebWork developers, - there are about fifteen active volunteers. - Right now, about half of the committers are working on the - original Struts - Action Framework and half are working on the new Struts Shale - Framework, - which utilizes JavaServer Faces. - Several volunteers are now working with both frameworks. - </p> - - <p> - The merger and other milestones on the Apache Struts roadmap - were discussed - in a talk at ApacheCon on Tuesday, December 13, 2005, entitled - "Struts 2006: - An Embarrassment of Riches" - [http://people.apache.org/~husted/apachecon-2005-action.pdf]. - The talk will be presented by Lightbody, Husted, and Don - Brown, another - Struts Committer. - The Struts Shale framework is being discussed at a second - talk, - presented by McClanahan, entitled "Shale: The Next Struts??" - <a href="http://people.apache.org/~craigmcc/apachecon-2005-shale.pdf";> - Slides from the talk are available online</a> - . - </p> - <hr/> - - <h4 id="a20051214.2">14 Dec 2005 - Apache Struts offers "Shale" - for JSF</h4> - <p> - To give JavaServer Faces developers a head start on building - scalable - web applications for the enterprise, - Apache Struts now offers the Shale Framework. - Like the original "Struts Action Framework", - Shale provides developers with a front controller, - and several other components, - to provide the "invisible underpinnings that hold an - application together". - </p> - - <p> - "When JavaServer Faces arrived," - explains the Struts website, - "our development community chose to 'make new friends but keep - the old'. - Some of us want (or need) to stick with the original - request-based - framework. - Others are ready to switch to an component-based framework - that builds on - JavaServer Faces. - We offer both frameworks because we have volunteers to create - and maintain - both frameworks." - </p> - - <p> - Shale is based on the recently standardized JavaServer Faces - APIs, - and focuses on adding value, - rather than redundantly implementing features that JSF already - provides. - Shale will run on any compliant JSF implementation, - including the one being developed by the Apache MyFaces - project. - It also includes many features that Struts users appreciate, - such as supporting client side validation and the Tiles - framework. - </p> - - <p> - Struts Shale was discussed by Craig McClanahan in a talk at - ApacheCon on - Tuesday, December 13, 2005, entitled "Shale: The Next - Struts??". - <a href="http://people.apache.org/~craigmcc/apachecon-2005-shale.pdf";> -

Struts 1.1 - release in June 2003. - Since then, several other projects have been using Tiles, - even though it was embedded in the Struts JAR. - Soon, it will be much easier to use Tiles with products like - Jakarta Velocity, - Apache MyFaces, and Struts Shale. - </p> - - <p> - Tiles is a templating framework that can be used to create a - common look and - feel for a web site or application and to create reusable view - components. - A key aspect of Tiles is that it can be configured from a XML - configuration file. - A Tile definition can "extend" another definition, - giving the component an object-oriented feel. - Tile developers can create a base Tile (or screen layout), - and then indicate only how other Tiles differ from the base. - Changes made to a base Tile "cascade" to Tiles that extend - that base. - Significant changes can be made to the layout of a website - just by changing a single Tile definition. - </p> - <hr/> - - <h4 id="a20051125">25 Nov 2005 - Struts 1.2.8 (General - Availability)</h4> - <p> - The Struts team is pleased to announce the release of Struts -
