That's the wonderful or terrible thing about successful OSS projects, you are kidding yourself if you think even 5% of the users are even on a mailing list, much less that they will read every post.

If we go the <dojo:select ... /> from <s:select theme="ajax" ... /> route, then it should be a simple global find and replace.

I am surprised at such a large use of the tags though. I've asked more than a couple of times if anyone was using them, and there was never a response.

We are using 2.0.1 and we are using form/div with ajax based theme. Is it going to be major problem for us to migrate to new tags. If so what are you recommendations, we are in process of building and only half way through. I don't want to create 250 screens with tags that are going to
be outdated by the time we release the app.

I'm torn - I like the fact that we are getting the ajax code out of the base, but especially for webwork->s2 upgrades there is going to be more work. The other thing is that 2.0.2 is still beta, and frankly I don't think there is that many people using the tags at the moment, so this would be a good time to make the change.

That's what I'm imagining too. . .and we're agreeing that this incompatibility is a pill we have to swallow.

I think I am missing something here - how will the tags be invoked? It will need to be a new tld with a new name space, right? Something



like <dojo:select ... /> rather than <s:select theme="ajax" ... / > - so there will be a compatibility issue, but all the functionality will be moved forward.

To keep the codebase manageable, I believe we do need to make this
change, and I'd rather make it now while we are in our first beta
series than after the first Struts 2 GA. The plugin model might

also

open the door to other AJAX implementations of the same tags.

I agree. I like it, but just wanted to make sure we think through the compatibility changes before we make a decision.

In essence we're saying that this change is more important than backwards compat of this one tag and we're willing to live with those repercussions. I'm on board with that.

Ok, as long as we keep the tag prefixes and tag names once they

are

abstracted from the plugin.

At one point we talked about having a simple version which is extended by the dojo version and added additional (dojo-specific) featuers. It seems like the current names would be more likely be used for the core
tags - not the dojo-enhanced ones.

JasperReports,

and Tiles, so forth.

Nope, that's the one I'm talking about.  I got the impression
we were

going to keep it as is and thus break backwards compatibility
in 2.0.2
