== Short Term Roadmap ==

The following bullets define a short term roadmap of functionality that should be included before an initial release of this technology:

 * Provide View Controller support for subviews (things included via Request Dispatcher include calls) - DONE!
 * Integration of transparent Spring bean generation in the managed beans facility - DONE!
 * Integration of Commons Validator for client- and server-side validation support - DONE!
 * Integration of Commons File Upload for file upload support
 * Integration of Struts Tiles (or, more likely, the standalone variant of Tiles being proposed for incubation) for templating support - DONE!
 * Refinements to the View Controller and Dialog Controller APIs for even easier use, and robustness in the face of exceptions thrown by application logic
 * Fleshing out the unit test framework (struts-shale-test) with mocks for the remaining framework APIs
 * Instrumenting the Use Cases example app with unit tests using the test framework. - DONE!
 * Explore integration with "workflow" technologies like Spring Web Flow and Beehive's PageFlows.

== Long Term Roadmap ==

Longer term plans (but could be incorporated into an initial release if sufficient developer interest exists to make it happen):

 * Server side infrastructure to respond to background XML requests from JSF components (or other code) that has client side JavaScript behavior
 * Add some JSF components to provide easy developer access to these sorts of facilities, plus examples of how they can be used
