+ <h4 id="a20061010">10 Oct 2006 - Struts v2.0.1 Development
Build</h4>
+
+ <p>
+ The Apache Struts project is pleased to announce the availability
of
+ the <a
href="http://cwiki.apache.org/WW/home.html#Home-Distributions";>
+ Struts 2.0.1 development build</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Struts 2 was originally known as WebWork 2. After working
independently
+ for several years, the WebWork and Struts communities joined
forces to
+ create Struts 2. This new version of Struts is designed to be
simpler to
+ use and closer to how Struts was always meant to be. Some key
changes are:
+ </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <em>Smarter!</em>
+ <ul><li>
+ <strong>Improved Design</strong> - All Struts 2 classes
are based on interfaces.
+ Core interfaces are HTTP independent.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Intelligent Defaults</strong> - Most configuration
elements have a default
+ value that we can set and forget.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Enhanced Results</strong> - Unlike ActionForwards,
Struts 2 Results can
+ actually help prepare the response.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Enhanced Tags</strong> - Struts 2 tags don't just
output data, but provide
+ stylesheet-driven markup, so that we can create consistent
pages
+ with less code.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>First-class AJAX support</strong> - The AJAX theme
gives interactive
+ applications a significant boost.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Stateful Checkboxes</strong> - Struts 2 checkboxes
do not require special
+ handling for false values.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>QuickStart</strong> - Many changes can be made on
the fly without restarting
+ a web container.
+ </li></ul></li>
+ <li>
+ <em>Easier!</em>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy-to-test Actions</strong> - Struts 2 Actions
are HTTP independent and
+ can be tested without resorting to mock objects.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy-to-customize controller</strong> - Struts 1
lets us customize the request
+ processor per module, Struts 2 lets us customize the
request handling
+ per action, if desired.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy-to-tweak tags</strong> - Struts 2 tag markup
can be altered by changing
+ an underlying stylesheet. Individual tag markup can be
changed by
+ editing a FreeMarker template. No need to grok the taglib
API! Both
+ JSP and FreeMarker tags are fully supported.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy cancel handling</strong> - The Struts 2
Cancel button can go directly to
+ a different action.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy Spring integration</strong> - Struts 2
Actions are Spring-aware. Just
+ add Spring beans!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>Easy plugins</strong> - Struts 2 extensions can be
added by dropping in a JAR.
+ No manual configuration required!
+ </li></ul></li>
+ <li>
+ <em>POJO-ier!</em>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <strong>POJO forms</strong> - No more ActionForms! We can
use any JavaBean we like or
+ put properties directly on our Action classes. No need to
use all
+ String properties!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <strong>POJO Actions</strong> - Any class can be used as
an Action class. We don't
+ even have to implement an interface!
+ </li></ul></li></ul>
