Re: Templating Mechanism

[Tan Siow Boon]

Hi,

We found the  tag extension provided by Oleg V Alexeev very
useful. Is there a plan to incorporate it into Struts 1.0 ?

Cannot find tag class: 'org.apache.struts.taglib.form.RewriteTag'

[Tan Siow Boon]

Hi,
I encounterd the following error when trying out the Struts example
using nightly build 20001119. It seems like the struts-form.tld contains
a "RewriteTag" referencing a class 'org.apache.struts.taglib.form.RewriteTag'
that does not exist. I managed to get the example working by removing the
"RewriteTag". I should have reported this problem thru http://znutar.cortextity.com:
but I just couldn't access it.

When will Struts 1.0 going to be released ?

[Tan Siow Boon]

Hi,

We are quite interested to use Struts in our in-house project. It is a
very nice MVC framework that separates business logic from the JSP page.
Can I know when Struts 1.0 be released ?
