+ 1.3.0
+ as the "Action Framework"</h4>
+
+ <p>
+ [Note: As of version 1.3.5, the "Action Framework" label
+ was dropped, and Struts is just Struts again.]
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The Apache Struts flagship product,
+ the leading web application framework for Java,
+ is now known as the "Struts".
+ </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".
+ The JARs and external dependencies for the extensions to
+ Struts
+ are being bundled into a convenient distribution known as the
+ "Struts Action
+ Framework Library".
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The Struts 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 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 class="externalLink" href="http://people.apache.org/~husted/apachecon-2005-action.pdf">
+ Slides from the talk are available online</a>

+ WebWork
+ communities to merge</h4>
+ <p>
+ Apache Struts,
+ the leading web application framework for Java, and Open
+ 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
+ <a class="externalLink" href="http://people.apache.org/~husted/apachecon-2005-action.pdf">"Struts 2006:
+ An Embarrassment of Riches".</a>
+ 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 class="externalLink" href="http://people.apache.org/~craigmcc/apachecon-2005-shale.pdf">

+ </div><div class="section"><h4 id="a20051214.2">14 Dec 2005 - Apache Struts offers "Shale"
+ for JSF</h4>
+
+ <p>[Note: <a class="externalLink" href="http://shale.apache.org/">
+ Shale is now a top-level ASF project.</a>]
+ </p>
+
+ <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",
+ 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??".

+ </div><div class="section"><h4 id="a20051214.1">14 Dec 2005 - Apache Struts to release
+ "standalone" Tiles</h4>
+ <p>
+ Apache Struts introduced Tiles as a integral component of its
+ 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.

+ Rabago</h4>
+ <p>
+
+ We are pleased to announce that Hubert Rabago has accepted an
+ invitation to join the
+ Struts development community as a committer. We were impressed
+ by Hubert's sustained
+ participation in both the user and dev mailing lists, where he
+ has demonstrated
+ knowledge and respect for the community. He has clearly put
+ considerable energy into
+ how Struts works, both from a code perspective as well as a
+ community perspective.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ So, we've begun the formalities to get his account set up and

+ Flow</h4>
+ <p>
+ The Apache Struts team is pleased to announce the adoption of
+ its latest
+ subproject, Struts Flow, a continuations-based approach to
+ complex web
+ workflows. Struts Flow orginated at the struts.sf.net project
+ and has
+ been formally adopted now as a Struts subproject. Struts Flow
+ is a port
+ of Apache Cocoon's Control Flow to Struts to allow complex
+ workflow,
+ like multi-form wizards, to be easily implemented using
+ continuations-capable Javascript and eventually Java.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Today, Struts is comprised of nine subprojects: Core, Taglib,
+ Tiles, El,
+ Faces, Scripting, Applications, Shale, and (now) Flow. Struts
+ Flow is
+ different from Struts Scripting/BSF as where scripting brings
+ any
+ BSF-supported scripting language to Struts Actions, Struts
+ Flow works on
+ redefining the traditional Model 2 state-driven workflow into
+ simplified
+ scripots whos eexecute spans multiple requests. Currently, the
+ Rhino
+ engine, a Javascript implementation, is used to provide
+ continuations
+ support, but with the maturation of
+ <a class="externalLink" href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/javaflow/">
+ Commans Javaflow</a>
+ - a Java-based continuations implementation,
+ Java will soon be supported as well.

+ <p>
+ The Apache Struts team is pleased to announce the adoption of
+ its latest
+ subproject, Struts Shale, a JSF-based framework. The Shale
+ codebase was
+ initiated by Craig McClanahan in the Struts sandbox, and
+ development
+ traffic regarding Shale has steadily increased. As the product
+ is heading
+ towards an initial release, the Struts PMC felt it time to
+ formally adopt
+ Struts Shale as a subproject.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Today, Struts is comprised of eight subprojects: Core, Taglib,
+ Tiles, El,
+ Faces, Scripting, Applications, and (now) Shale. An initiative
+ is underway
+ to extract the Struts Tiles code into a standalone product.
+ Several Struts
+ developers plan to apply to the ASF to incubate

+
+ <p>
+ The Apache Struts project is pleased to announce the availability of
+ the <a class="externalLink" href="http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts201">
+ Struts 2.0.1 BETA release</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Apache Struts 2 is an elegant, extensible framework, well suited for
+ enterprise-ready Java web applications.
+ The framework is designed to streamline the full development cycle,
+ from building, to deploying, to maintaining applications over time.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Apache Struts 2 was originally known as WebWork 2.
+ After working independently for several years,
+ the WebWork and Struts communities joined forces to create Struts<sup>2</sup>.
+ This new version of Struts is simpler to use and closer to how
+ Struts was always meant to be.
+ </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <i>Build!</i>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <b>Easy startup</b> - A Maven archetype, template application, and bootstrap
+ tutorial help jumpstart new projects.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Improved Design</b> - All framework classes are based on interfaces.
+ Core interfaces are HTTP independent.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Enhanced Results</b> - Unlike ActionForwards, Struts<sup>2</sup> Results can
+ actually help prepare the response.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Enhanced Tags</b> - Struts<sup>2</sup> tags don't just output data, but provide
+ stylesheet-driven markup, so that we can create consistent pages with less code.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Stateful Checkboxes</b> - Struts<sup>2</sup> checkboxes do not require special
+ handling for false values.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Easy cancel handling</b> - The Struts<sup>2</sup> Cancel button can go directly to
+ a different action.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>POJO forms</b> - 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>
+ <b>POJO Actions</b> - Any class can be used as an Action class. Even the
+ interface is optional!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Easy Spring integration</b> - Struts<sup>2</sup> Actions are Spring-aware. Just
+ add Spring beans!
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>First-class AJAX support</b> - The AJAX theme gives interactive
+ applications a boost.
+ </li>
+ </ul></li>
+
+ <li>
+ <i>Deploy!</i>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <b>QuickStart</b> - Configuration files are reloadable so many changes
+ can be made on the fly without restarting a web container.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Easy plugins</b> - Framework extensions can be added by dropping in a JAR.
+ No manual configuration required! Bundled plugins add support for JavaServer Faces,
+ JasperReports, JFreeChart, Tiles, and more ...
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Easy portlets</b> - Automatic portlet support allows portal and servlet
+ deployments with no code changes.
+ </li>
+
+ </ul></li>
+ <li>
+ <i>Maintain!</i>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <b>Easy-to-test Actions</b> - Struts<sup>2</sup> Actions are HTTP independent and
+ can be tested without resorting to mock objects.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Intelligent Defaults</b> - Most framework configuration elements have a default
+ value that we can set and forget.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Easy-to-customize controller</b> - Struts 1 lets us customize the request
+ processor per module, Struts<sup>2</sup> lets us customize the request handling
+ per action, if desired.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Easy-to-tweak tags</b> - Struts<sup>2</sup> 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!
+ <i>JSP, FreeMarker, and Velocity tags are fully supported.</i>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <b>Integrating Debugging</b> - Built-in debugging tools supporting profiling,
+ problem reports, and interactive object model queries.
+ </li>
+ </ul></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>

+ ASF Project</h4>
+ <p>
+ On behalf of the ASF Board and Struts PMC, we are pleased to
+ announce that Shale has been accepted as a top-level project of
+ the Apache Software Foundation.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ As a top-level project, Shale will have its own website, mailing
+ lists, repository space, and Project Management Committee. Shale
+ will be an automomous ASF project, rather than a subproject of
+ Apache Struts.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The Shale framework for JavaServer Faces is nearing its first
+ stable release. As a top-level project, it will be easier for
+ Shale to attract new developers and expand its growing community.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>
+ The initial set of PMC members and committers for Shale is
+ Craig McClanahan, James Mitchell, Greg Reddin, Sean Schofield,
+ Wendy Smoak, Gary VanMatre, Matthias Wessendorf.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Apache Shale has strong ties to both the Struts and MyFaces
+ projects. Most of the Shale PMC members are already involved
+ in both projects and plan on continuing to remain involved in
+ them, along with Shale.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Apache Shale is a modern web application framework, intended for
+ developers adopting JavaServer Faces as a core technology.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Shale began as a proposal for Struts 2.0, but instead became a
+ subproject, so as to provide a JSF alternative for Struts
+ developers. Recent developments for Struts 2 now make it
+ easier for Struts developers to access JSF components from within
+ an "action-based" application.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The initial Shale codebase was donated by Craig McClanahan, who
+ also donated the original Struts codebase.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ [Note: To accomodate Shale, the original framework had been given
+ the name "Action". Now that Shale has graduated, the "Action"
+ label is being dropped, and Struts is just Struts again.]

+ <p>
+ The Struts team is pleased to announce the release of Struts Shale 1.0.2 Alpha.
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <a class="externalLink" href="http://struts.apache.org/downloads.html">
+ http://struts.apache.org/downloads.html</a>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ The Struts Shale Framework is a set of loosely coupled services,
+ fundamentally based on JavaServer Faces, which may be combined as
+ needed to meet particular application requirements.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Compared to version 1.0.0 (version 1.0.1 was retired due to packaging
+ issues), this version includes a substantial number of bugfixes and
+ enhancements -- details are in the Release Notes -- and the following
+ major new features:
+ </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Shale Remoting is a complete overhaul of the remoting support in
+ 1.0.0, providing support for application or component developers who
+ need to implement the server side behavior for AJAX callbacks. It is
+ packaged as a small (40k) JAR that has no dependencies on the rest of
+ Shale.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Tiger Extensions is an optional add-on layer for those running on
+ Java SE 5 (code named "Tiger"). The extensions let you use Java
+ annotations to declare managed beans or register JSF components,
+ without needing entries in a faces-config.xml file.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A new "blank" starter application to get you up and running with a
+ new project quickly.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A new "mailreader" demo application that duplicates the
+ functionality of the Struts 1.x version of this app, so you can
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A new "SQL Browser" demo application that illustrates use of the
+ Tiger Extensions, as well as the ability to modify JSF component trees
+ on the fly.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ Although this is considered an alpha release, various developer APIs
+ should be considered at a more stable (in terms of assurances of
+ backwards compatibility in future releases) point than might otherwise
+ be expected. Please see the following web page for more details:
