So, my question is, what exactly are we waiting for for the Struts 1.1 release? What can we do to get it there as soon as possible? We'd be willing to put some time into it to get it released. Using it in our production applications is out of the question though.
I know this is a little harsh, but I have lost count of how long we've
been waiting. At least 7 Struts books have been released since Struts 1.1
beta was released. (it's funny that all of them say that 1.1 will be out
once the book is in print. :) Other web frameworks have gone from nothing
to having released software during the beta of 1.1. I want quality
software as much as the next guy, but was Struts 1.0 so poorly designed that it takes so long to come out with the next MINOR version?
OK, flame away, but I hope we can get someone tell us exactly what we need to do to stop the hold up and get 1.1 released. Please let us know.
I'll qualify this by saying I have not been in the release loop but here are my 2 cents.
Martin has been working very hard on several packages in Jakarta-Commons. I believe at this point that
commons-fileupload will go to a 1.0 final with known unsupported containers, such as zOs.
Then struts 1.1 will go out. So for short term what you and other could contribute is mapping
any know shortcomings in the nightly build by:
0) Contribute your time and experience doing:
1) Testing is always welcome under different containers.
Make a entry under the Wiki to note what functionality was
tested and under what container. There isn't currently a section for that
but you could organize one. These results would eventually go into the
official struts documentation.
To facilitate Struts 1.2 to come out faster:
2) Use Bugzilla to find all open tickets, marked 'later'.
Browse through them and see if improvements in the code
that is suggested would benefit your project. If so then develop a patch
that implements the fix and attach that to bugzilla.
3) Improvements to docs are always welcome as are diagrams, UML, etc...
