In terms of new features, I would like to see the Scope plugin integrated
into the core similar to the plan for Convention. This seems like an
essential service for a modern mvc framework. However, the plugin as it
stands is not feature complete. I believe the following features would make
it generic enough to be applied to a variety of common use cases:
1. Action method based annotations (context sensitive bijection, not
requiring you to create a new action for variations in scope usage)
2. Result sensitive outjection (such that in case of error, an object is not
outjected)
3. Pluggable scopes / scope processors

Subject: [s2] 2.1 to 2.5 Roadmap discussions
Struts 2 desperately needs a public roadmap, IMO, so here's a quick
strawman to get the discussion started:
Struts 2.1
* New plugins: REST, Dojo, DWR, Portlet, JUnit, and TestNG
* Internal API cleanups
Struts 2.2
* Finalize zero configuration strategy with new Conventions plugin
o Move REST Plugin over to use Conventions plugin, if necessary
o Ensure full legacy support
* OSGi Plugin?
* Public API
Struts 2.5
* 2.5 and not 2.3 to reflect important changes in xwork
o Guice 1.0
o Reworked localization
* JSR 303 (Bean Validation) support
* Built-in command line tool like Grails
I'm mirroring the proposal on this wiki page:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/S2WIKI/2.1+to+2.5+Roadmap
Also keep in mind, what we can do is very much constrained by who
volunteers to do the work. Most of what is on the strawman are
features that Rainer, Rene, or I have already indicated we plan on
working on. Still, don't hesitate to throw out ideas that may inspire
someone to take them up.
