In general, I'm OK with what's listed there. I would point out, though, that we seem to be discussing "Consider a 'smart' action type", listed under 1.5, at the moment, potentially as part of 1.3. (I'm not suggesting that we necessarily defer it, just pointing out the discrepancy.) There are a few points that I don't necessarily agree with, but they're all phrased as "Consider X". I can't argue with considering them, although I might argue against actually doing them. ;-) One particular area on which I am not in sync with some others is the whole JSF thing. I have no problem with Struts providing support for JSF, but I am not in favour of "adopt[ing] JSF strongly", as Craig put it. Craig and I see the future differently. He, I believe, sees JSF as the future (which is not entirely surprising ;), whereas I see JSF and other page oriented technologies as the past. The future, as I see it, is in highly dynamic apps. So what I'd like to see in a Struts 2.0 is strong support for highly dynamic apps.This might include handling requests submitted as XML, support for "serialising" to JavaScript or XML, etc. -- Martin Cooper > Is there anything someone would like put differently? > > -Ted. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
