Introducing new functionality in release candidates? That doesn't seem appropriate to me! ;-)

Nightly builds of this package are available at: > > > http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/nightly/struts-faces/ > > The sources for this package are in the "contrib/struts-faces" > subdirectory of the "jakarta-struts" CVS repository. > > You should take note of the following important points: > > * The design goal of this library was to allow Struts application > developers to migrate the view tier of their applications from the > existing Struts tags, to pages that use corresponding > JavaServer Faces > component tags, with no changes to the corresponding business logic. > This goal has been substantially achieved for simple applications > so far; additional work will be necessary for more advanced apps. > As a proof of concept, the JavaServer Faces based version of the > canonical "struts-example" web application is included in the > distribution, so that you can see for yourself how little had to be > changed. > > * The integration library has been tested under Tomcat 4.1.18 and > the Java Web Services Developer Pack (version 1.0_01), although in > principle it should run on any Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 container. > (It will not run on Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1 containers). > > * There is a known issue when trying to run JavaServer Faces EA3 > under the recently released Java Web Services Developer Pack > (version 1.1). Watch the JavaServer Faces web page (at the URL > listed above) for up-to-date information on workarounds. > > * The JavaServer Faces distribution is an EA release, not suitable for > use in production environments. In addition, the license terms > under which it can be downloaded prohibit redistribution. > Therefore, > you will need to download your own copy of JavaServer Faces EA3 and > integrate it with the example application before it can be deployed. > > * The integration library should also be considered to be of alpha > quality, not suitable for production use. There are a set of known > issues and limitations at the bottom of the README.txt file.
