Struts Web Service Enablement Project .03 now available

[Frank Zammetti <fz...@hotmail.com>]

I just wanted to let everyone know that version .03 of the Struts Web 
Services Enablement Project has just been released.  I hadn't done much on 
it in a while, but a couple of people said they were actually using it (or 
thinking about using it), so I felt obligated to continue it to at least 
some extent.

For those of you that have not heard about it before... This project is a 
small little thing I put together that allows you to expose parts of a 
Struts-based application as Web Services without any changes to the existing 
code.  It's got a number of limitations, but does work and is actually 
useful in some cases (I am currently using it in a large production app at 
work with a lot of success).

When I started the project, I had a grandiose idea of this being an 
all-encompassing method for everyone to use in all WS situations, but after 
the feedback I've recieved and thinking about it more and actually using it 
myself, I've come to the conclusion that it's never going to suit all needs 
no matter how far I take it.  However, I think it is still a good solution 
in some cases, sometimes even an ideal approach (i.e., an existing app is 
probably the best candidate).

It also can prove to be a very quick and easy way for a developer familiar 
with Struts to get going with WS without being overly concerned with all the 
intricacies that go along with them.

In any case, it's out there if anyone is interested.
