Re: StrutsBoot

[James Chaplin <jc...@apache.org>]

Hi.  My "vote" would also be to preserve XML configuration support for Struts in the future.

Keeping XML configuration as an option, even if a future annotations-based configuration mechanism is introduced, would keep things flexible (and probably make upgrades from older versions less painful).

If an annotations-based configuration mechanism is introduced in the future, hopefully it would be possible to "mix-and-match" with XML configuration, based on developer preference.  Having a way to map/represent any annotations-based configuration as an XML equivalent (e.g. for debugging) might be useful as well.

Regards,
James.
