Hi, I've been trying without success over the last few days to get an application written using Struts 1.1 to use JSF by using myfaces-all.jar. I haven't been able to find an up-to-date released version of struts-faces, and was wondering whether this has been parked in favour of Shale? The following link which is referred to from Craig McClanahan's blog, and some other struts-faces resources on the Web, is not active: http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/nightly/struts-faces/ This is a known problem, as per http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-2926. Also, all of the issues related to faces raised for Struts 1 are unresolved, as per http://issues.apache.org/struts/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&p id=10121&resolution=-1&component=21237&sorter/field=priority&sorter/orde r=DESC. Thus, I am wondering whether struts-faces is being actively maintained, and if so, which version of Struts and JSF it should be used with? The most recent version of the released struts faces I could find is struts-faces-0.4.zip, from http://archive.apache.org/dist/struts/struts-faces/, but dates 07-Jun-2003. I tried to use a nightly build of struts-faces from last week (struts-faces-1.3.6-SNAPSHOT-20060901.jar) that I found in http://people.apache.org/builds/struts/nightlies/1.3.x/, together with myfaces-all.jar "Implementation-Version: 1.1.1" in the struts-blank.war example from Struts 1.1. I doubted it would work together with Struts 1.1, but as Struts 1.3 is not yet fully released, I thought I'd give it a try. Before migrating my application from Struts 1.1 to 1.3, I would like to know roughly how close Release 1.3.X would be? It is marked as pending at http://struts.apache.org/1.x/roadmap.html. Also, would anyone know whether there is a version of struts-faces for Struts 1.1 that would work with a recent version of myfaces-all.jar or previous released version of myfaces-all.jar? Would anyone know whether there exists a version of struts-faces for a released version of Struts 1.2 that I could try? I would very much like to use JSF in this application, but have been hindered by incompatible JARs, and difficulty in finding where the released struts-faces JAR files are available, and which version of Struts and JSF they should be used with. Any help would be much appreciated. To summarize, questions are: 1/ Is struts-faces still being maintained, and if so, for which version(s) of Struts and MyFaces or other JSF implementation? 2/ How close is a release of Struts 1.3.X and will it include an up-to-date struts-faces.jar? 3/ Is there a version of struts-faces for Struts 1.1 that would work with a recent version of myfaces-all.jar or previous released version of myfaces-all.jar? 4/ Does there exist a version of struts-faces for a released version of Struts 1.2 that I could try? Many thanks in advance, Colin.
