+ <h4 id="a20060818.1">18 Aug 2006 - Struts v1.3.5 Beta</h4>
+
+ <p>The Apache Struts team is pleased to announce the release of
Struts 1.3.5 Beta.</p>
+
+ <p>Struts 1.3.5 is available in a full distribution, or as
separate library, source, example and
+ documentation distributions.</p>
+
+ <p>http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts135</p>
+
+ <p>It is also available in the central Maven repository under
Group ID "org.apache.struts".</p>
+
+ <p>Major changes since Struts 1.2 include</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Composable Request Processor</li>
+ <li>Arbitrary configuration properties</li>
+ <li>Opt-In Cancel Handling</li>
+ <li>Enhanced Global Exception Handlers</li>
+ <li>Extends attribute</li>
+ <li>"isCommitted" Exception Handling</li>
+ <li>Postback Actions</li>
+ <li>Wildcard ActionConfig properties</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Composable Request Processor: For Struts 1.3, we turned the
request processor methods into Commands that
+ are part of a flexible Chain of Commands.</p>
+
+ <p>Arbitrary configuration properties: Most every Struts
configuration element now accepts a map of
+ key/value pairs. Arbitrary configuration properties let us
externalize more of our configurations,
+ encouraging reuse.</p>
+
+ <p>Opt-In Cancel Handling: In Struts 1.3, the Cancel token is only
honored if the new property "cancellable"
+ is set for the Action Mapping. If the Cancel token is present,
but cancellable is not set, then an
+ InvalidCancelException is thrown. The InvalidCancelExeption
may be caught by a Declarative Exception
+ Handler, like any other Exception.</p>
+
+ <p>Enhanced Global Exception Handlers: We now support use of
global exception handlers in cases when no
+ ActionConfig has yet been identified, as in with
"preprocessing" commands in a custom request processing
+ chain.</p>
+
+ <p>Extends attribute: In the Struts configuration file, we can now
use the extends attribute to adopt
+ default settings from another element, as we already can in
the Tiles configuration files.</p>
+
+ <p>"isCommitted" Exception Handling: When using Tiles, sometimes
the response is already committed when an
+ exception occurs. Now, the ExceptionHandler tests
response.isCommitted, and, if true, includes the
+ configured view path, rather than forwarding to it.</p>
+
+ <p>Postback Forms: The action attribute of the Form taglib is now
optional. If omitted, the original URI of
+ the original request is used.</p>
+
+ <p>Wildcard ActionConfig properties: Wildcards can now be used in
the properties of an ActionConfig.</p>
+
+ <p>The 1.3.x series of the Apache Struts framework has a minumum
requirement of the following specification
+ versions:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Java Servlet 2.3 and JavaServer Pages (JSP) 1.2</li>
+ <li>Java 2 Standard Platform Edition (J2SE) 1.4</li>
+ </ul>
