Announcement: Strecks (Struts extensions for Java 5) version 1.0
beta 3 released
I'd like to announce the release of Strecks 1.0 beta 3. Strecks is a set
of extensions to Struts aimed at Java 5 users aimed at streamlining
development of Struts application with features such as POJO actions,
interceptors, dependency injections, data binding, etc. For more details
see http://strecks.sourceforge.net/
Strecks 1.0 beta 3 can be downloaded from
http://strecks.sourceforge.net/download.php
The main changes in this recent release involve some internal
refactorings to easily support the Struts 1.3 when it becomes GA
(General Availability). Users will be able to configure Strecks using
the Struts 1.3 chain of responsibility request processor (as well as
continue to use the Struts 1.2 request processor). However, the main
targeted Struts version will continue to be 1.2 until Struts 1.3 becomes
GA.
Strecks 1.0 beta 3 involves the following changes:
- refactored processor internals to allow for simpler support of 1.3.x
and its chain of responsibility-based request processor
- proper packaging of Strecks .tld file in jar. Changed tag URI to
http://strecks.sourceforge.net/tags
- changed interface of ActionContextFactory to use PropertyDescriptor
rather than InputSetter

Phil Zoio

Strecks (Struts extensions for Java 5) version 1.0 released
Posted by Phil Zoio <ph...@realsolve.co.uk>.
I'm pleased to announce the release of Strecks 1.0. Strecks is a set of
Java 5-specific extensions to the original Struts framework.
Making heavy use of Java 5 annotations, it adds a number of modern
features to Struts-based applications, including POJO actions,
dependency injection, declarative validation and data binding,
interceptors, pluggable views, as well as seamless Spring integration.
It is also highly extensible and amenable to test driven development.
For more information, see http://strecks.sourceforge.net/features.php.
The aim of Strecks has been to address the most widely perceived
inadequacies of the original Struts programming model while still
allowing full backward compatibility of applications. Strecks works with
the most recent general availability Struts versions (1.2.8 and 1.3.5),
but at the same time allows developers to work with advanced features
expected from modern web frameworks. Strecks offers an enhanced
programming model for actions and forms, while working with existing
unchanged templating and configuration mechanisms.
Strecks is aimed at developers who:
- have a significant existing investment in the current version of
Struts, either in terms of knowledge or existing code
- are not currently ready or willing to take the pain of migrating to
the forthcoming Struts 2.0 (based on WebWork) or another web framework
- want to take advantage of advanced features not available in vanilla
Struts but increasingly so in other frameworks
Strecks can be downloaded from http://strecks.sourceforge.net/download.php.

This is expected to be the last beta release before Strecks 1.0 final.
The main changes in this recent release involve upgrading samples to use
by default Struts 1.3.5 by default, although Struts 1.2.x is still
supported. Other changes include the implementation of a module-specific
strecks.properties file, the action bean lifecycle methods @InitMethod
and @CloseMethod, an upgrade of library dependency versions, and a few
minor bug fixes.
