Re: jQuery plugin for Struts 2?
+1 here.
Highly looking forward to using this over current Dojo plugin.
Any progress being made?

He Dave,
Thanks for the response.
Do to the performance penalty, with struts 2.0.x, I just would like to not
touch dojo again.
Off the bat, I was curious if client side validation could benefit from
writing out jquery validation rules
http://bassistance.de/2008/01/30/jquery-validation-plugin-overview/
You mentioned "writing the bulk of our JavaScript by hand", so a lot of the
ajax/validation calls do not involve dojo?
I'd be interested in chipping in a little if you would like.

Not really; I'm completely overwhelmed by my TODO list at the moment.
It's over at GoogleCode and I'm happy to bring people on board. There's a
working example of <sq:a.../> which will update a <div...>.
http://code.google.com/p/s2jquery
We ended up writing the bulk of our JavaScript by hand, so my input kinda
petered out. I'm scheduling it for a minimum of four hrs/week moving forward,
so probably a bit more will be done, including a small pamphlet documenting
the process.
If there are specific tags you'd like to see or specific functionality file
improvements etc. and I'll try to prioritize them as best as I can, with the
caveat that if I'm the only one working on it the priorities will look...
very suspiciously like mine.
