+<h3><a name="20020423.1"></a>23 Apr 2002 - Synthis Corporation annouces support for the Apache Struts J2EE Architecture</h3>
+<p>
+Synthis Corporation is pleased to announce that Adalon, a next-generation functional design tool for modeling Internet
+applications, now offers full support for the Struts framework, the leading open-source J2EE Web application architecture
+from the Apache Software Foundation.
+</p>
+<p>
+Adalon provides a single, integrated environment to gather and track business requirements, visually model the process
+foundations of an application, and generate complete functional design documentation and code frameworks for ANY target
+software architecture, programming language, and development platform.
+</p>
+<p>
+Here is what people are saying about Adalon and Struts:
+</p>
+<blockquote>
+"The hardest part of designing any application can be deciding what to build. Adalon helps clients clearly define "the
+what" and "the why" of an application, and the code generation templates give Struts developers a serious jumpstart on "the
+how", helping us to build not only a great application, but also the right application." -- Ted Husted,
+Active contributor to the Jakarta-Struts framework.
+</blockquote>
+<blockquote>
+"We have incorporated Adalon into our development process and are currently training our consultants on the product. With
+Adalon, our consultants now have a great tool to manage the process of developing custom Struts solutions, from initial
+requirements gathering through to the delivery of implemented code." -- Dmitry Shugaev, Vice President of Technology,
+Computer Consulting Services Corporation (CCSC).
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+Synthis is offering support for Struts in the Adalon Struts Community Edition, and the Adalon Developer Edition. For more
+details on the Adalon Struts Community Edition and the Adalon Developer Edition, please visit
+<a href="http://www.synthis.com/products/adalon/overview.jsp">www.synthis.com/products/adalon</a>.

-<h3><a name="20020304"></a>04 March 2002 - Best Practice with Expresso-Struts Framework</h3>
-<p>
-In this article, Peter Pilgrim looks at the best practice of using a popular web
-application toolkit, The Expresso Framework. The Expresso Framework, until version 3, had its
-own Model View Controller engine. It now integrates Struts, further reducing the amount of
-code that developers need to write. As well as having an MVC framework, Struts also has its
-own powerful custom tag actions. Custom tag libraries and their powerful bean introspection
-core further reduce the total amount of Java scriptlets in Java Server Pages."

<h3><a name="20020304"></a>04 March 2002 - Best Practice with Expresso-Struts Framework</h3>
<p>
In this article, Peter Pilgrim looks at the best practice of using a popular web
application toolkit, The Expresso Framework. The Expresso Framework, until version 3, had its
own Model View Controller engine. It now integrates Struts, further reducing the amount of
code that developers need to write. As well as having an MVC framework, Struts also has its
own powerful custom tag actions. Custom tag libraries and their powerful bean introspection
core further reduce the total amount of Java scriptlets in Java Server Pages."

Please give it a try and tell us what you think. We are currently working on
our next major release that will provide J2EE 1.3 support. We also plan to
support Struts as it evolves (multi-app support, etc.), so any input we
receive would make that support even better.

<h3><a name="20020118"></a>18 Jan 2002 - Nested Taglib added to nightly build</h3>
<p>
Struts tags support a dotted notation to refer to a nested beans. The Nested
Talib extends this notation to automatically include a parent tag. Instead of
referring to a property as parent<strong>.</strong>child, "parent" can be
defined with the <code>nest</code> tag, and other Struts tags within that
tag can simply refer to the "child" property. Tags can be nested arbitarily
deep.

<h3><a name="20020112.2"></a>12 Jan 2002 - MultiApp Capability Added</h3>
<p>
Support for multiple application modules has been added to the nightly build.
Developers can now provide multiple Struts configuration files, each of which
can defines its own "module prefix". All of the "context-relative" values in
the Struts configuration are now "module-relative". Struts components which '
handle context-relative URIs now transparently handle module-relative URIs.
</p>
<p>
Existing configuration files, JavaServer Pages, or Actions do not need to be
changed to use this capability. The only change is to specify the module
prefix to be used with each additional configuration.
</p>
<p>
This feature allows different teams to work on different parts of an
application at the same time, without conflict over the configuration file.
It also allows Struts applications that were developed independantly to be
easily merged.
</p>
<p>
Formal documentation is pending. See the Mailing List Archive for details.
