Even for the advanced cases, the changes are pretty minimal -- such as subclassing RequestProcessor instead of ActionServlet for customizing the Struts request processing lifecycle. That being said, the new features that have been added in the 1.1 environment are pretty compelling, especially if we're talking about new applications. As has been discussed several times on the mailing lists :-), the label "beta" in open source development does not have the same connotations that it does in COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) development. Many people are happily using 1.1b1 or 1.1b2 for production apps. > -josh Craig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
