Seems to be the true home page for Apache Struts these days, since Struts 1.x is only a legacy technology - Struts 2.x has been the current version or a couple of years now.

Welcome to Beehive! Our goal is to make J2EE programming easier by building a simple object model on J2EE and Struts. Using the new JSR-175 annotations, Beehive reduces the coding necessary for J2EE. The initial Beehive project has three pieces. * NetUI:

Apache Tiles is a templating framework built to simplify the development of web application user interfaces. Tiles allows authors to define page fragments which can be assembled into a complete page at runtime. These fragments, or tiles, can be used as si

The Apache Struts group is pleased to announce that Struts 2.0.8 is available as a "General Availability" release. The GA designation is our highest quality grade.

Apache Struts 2 is an elegant, extensible framework for creating enterprise-ready Java web applications. The framework is designed to streamline the full development cycle, from building, to deploying, to maintaining applications over time.

Apache Struts 2 was originally known as WebWork 2. After working independently for several years, the WebWork and Struts communities joined forces to create Struts2. This new version of Struts is simpler to use and closer to how Struts was always meant to be.

• Build!
  • Easy startup - Jumpstart new projects with our bootstrap tutorial and template application or Maven archetype.
  • Improved Design - Code clean against HTTP-independent framework interfaces.
  • Enhanced Tags - Code less with stylesheet-driven form tags that provide their own markup.
  • Stateful Checkboxes - Avoid special handling with smart checkboxes that know when they are toggled.
  • Flexible Cancel Buttons - Go directly to a different action on cancel.
  • First-class AJAX support - Add interactivity and flexibility with AJAX tags that look and feel just like standard Struts tags.
  • Easy Spring integration - Inject dependencies into Actions using Spring without glue code or red tape. (Plexus support also available.)
  • Enhanced Results - Do more with specialty results for JasperReports, JFreeChart, Action chaining, and file downloading.
  • POJO forms - No more ActionForms! Use any JavaBean to capture form input or put properties directly on an Action class. Use both binary and String properties!
  • POJO Actions - Use any class as an Action class -- even the interface is optional!
• Deploy!
  • Easy plugins - Add framework extensions by dropping in a JAR. No manual configuration required! Bundled plugins add support for JavaServer Faces, JasperReports, JFreeChart, Tiles, and more ...
  • Integrated profiling - Peek inside Struts2 to find where the cycles are going!
  • Precise Error Reporting - Flip directly to the location and line of an error.
• Maintain!
  • Easy-to-test Actions - Test Struts2 Actions directly, without resorting to mock HTTP objects.
  • Intelligent Defaults - Skip obvious and redundant settings. Most framework configuration elements have a default value that we can set and forget. Say it once!
  • Easy-to-customize controller - Customize the request handling per action, if desired. Struts2 only does what you want it to do!
  • Integrating Debugging - Research problem reports with built-in debugging tools.
  • Easy-to-tweak tags - Customize tag markup by editing a FreeMarker template. No need to grok the taglib API! JSP, FreeMarker, and Velocity tags are fully supported.

This release has over 60 bug fixes and improvements since 2.0.6!

New Features include:

• Cookie Interceptor -- Inject cookie with a certain configurable name / value into action.
• Restful2ActionMapper -- Allow automatic id setting from Restful2ActionMapper.

Struts 2.0.8 is available in a full distribution, or as separate library, source, example and documentation distributions.

* http://struts.apache.org/download.cgi#struts208

The release is also available through the central Maven repository under Group ID "org.apache.struts".

The 2.0.8 series of the Apache Struts framework has a minimum requirement of the following specification versions:

• Servlet API 2.4
• JSP API 2.0
• Java 5

The release notes are available online at:

* http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/release-notes-208.html

Improvemnt on Struts?

The Apache Struts team is pleased to announce that Struts 1.3.8 has been promoted to General Availability. This release has over 40 bug fixes and improvements since 1.3.5

New Features:

[Action ID]

New "actionId" attribute to uniquely identify action mappings within a module. Just as the TilesRequestProcessor could recognize a tile definition and resolve it to the intended JSP, so does Struts now have built-in recognition for URIs that begin with an actionId and will automatically translate forwards.

[I18N Properties]

Tag libraries now include the HTML I18N properties. This allows sites that specialize in internationalization to specify both bi-directional text and language at the tag level.

[Dynamic Link Parameters]

The Struts <html:link>, <html:frame>, <html:rewrite> tag libraries now allow their bodies to nest the new <html:param> tag.

[Property MessageResources Modes]

Compatibility mode option which allows message resources to operate in modes compatible with either JSTL or PropertyResourceBundle.

Apache Struts 1.3.8 is available in a full distribution, or as separate library, source, example and documentation distributions.

The release is also available through the central Maven repository under Group ID "org.apache.struts".
