The Ajax plugin approach is useful when someone wants to keep Ajax at arms-length and let a magical taglib handle the JavaScript vodoo. But, a plugin is NOT required to use Ajax with Struts 2! Struts 2 works just fine with plain Ajax library out-of-the-box. We updated the Ajax page recently to help make this point more clear. * http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/ajax.html The bottom line is that if you're savvy enough to even have a Ajax preference, then you probably want to just use JQuery and Struts without the "training wheels". -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
