1.1 tld uri - RE: cvs commit: jakarta-struts/contrib/struts-faces/web/systest context.jsp context1.jsp logon.jsp logon1.jsp simple.jsp

["Deadman, Hal" <Ha...@Tallan.com>]

I made a patch for this issue and added it to the bug report Matthias created.
 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31021
 
If this is OK it should be easy to do for struts-el and struts-faces as well. Let me know if you would like patches for those as well.

So, do we need changes for the 1.2.3 release? If so, a quick fix/patch
would be appreciated. ;-)
