* jars - I guess its obvious to say you need to replace the jars, but the one people
might forget is the new commons-validator.jar for version 1.1.3 of validator. I'm not
sure where you can download this from currently, except the Struts 1.2.1 distro
includes it.
* tlds - remember to deploy the new versions of the tld files for struts tags. If you
don't you won't be able to use the new tag attributes added.
* validator.xml - change the dtd declaration at the top to refer to the dtd for
validator 1.1.3
<!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons Validator Rules Configuration
1.1.3//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_1_3.dtd";>
* validator-rules.xml - upgrade to the new version of validator-rules.xml. In the
Struts 1.2.1 version the dtd declaration in validator-rules.xml is incorrect - its
right in the latest nightly build - either use that or just change the dtd declaration
as shown above in the 1.2.1 version of validator-rules.xml.
* struts-config.xml - its not absolutely necessary but you should upgrade to the 1.2
version of the dtd (Note that as well as the version number changing so has the url to
struts.apache.org).
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.2//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd";>
If you do upgrade to the 1.2 version dtd then there are a couple of attributes which
have been removed and you will need to remove them from your struts-config:
- debug has been removed from the "controller" element.
- dynamic has been removed from the "form-bean" element
Also "contextRelative" in the "forward" element is now considered "deprecated" and a
new "module" attribute added.
The only other thing I did was change references to ActionError to ActionMessage - its
wasn't necessary to do it, but it got rid of the "deprecation" warnings when I compile.
