Internal Changes

New Features

• * Cookie Interceptor: Inject cookie with a certain configurable name / value into action. (Since 2.0.7.) (WW-1678). Being new, the Cookie Interceptor is also labeled "experimental" in this release.

Significant Fixes

• DevMode has been set to the default "failse" setting on all example applications. DevMode impacts performance and should only be set to true during development or debugging (WW-1781)

Documentation Changes

• Thanks to Musachy Barroso, we have some spiffy new buttons for the Struts 2 home page.

Internal Changes

• A consistent set of "camelCase" names for interceptors and results are available. Instead of "model-driven", you can now use "modelDriven". The hyphenated names will rename available until at least Struts 2.1.0. (WW-1707)

• Several minor patches have been applied. See the Issue Detail log for specifics...

Experimental Features and Plugins

...

• Java 1.4 support: We are backporting the core Struts and XWork JARs, and, as a courtesy, bundling them with the distribution. However, Struts 2 is being coded for Java 5 and backward compatibility is not assured.
• Cookie Interceptor: Inject cookie with a certain configurable name / value into action. (Since 2.0.7.) . (WW-1678)
• Portlets: Automatic portlet support allows portal and servlet deployments with no code changes (WW-1645@S2jira).
• AJAX Theme: AJAX tags look and feel just like standard Struts tags but provide greater interactivity and flexibility. The AJAX theme is backed by the popular Dojo Toolkit (WW-1609).
• Zero Configuration: Optionally, eliminate or reduce XML configuration with convention and annotation (WW-1491).
• REST-ful URLs: Use search-engine friendly URLs, like category/action/movie/Thrillers (WW-1475).
• Experimental Plugins
  • Codebehind Plugin: Reduce mundane configuration by using "page controller" conventions (WW-1515).
  • Plexus Plugin - A new plugin that enables Struts Actions, Interceptors, and Results to be created and injected by Plexus.
  • Scope Plugin - Initial version of scope plugin that mimics JBoss Seam-style of scoped bijection (presently in the Sandbox).
  • Struts1 Plugin - A new plugin that allows you to use existing Struts 1 Actions and ActionForms in Struts 2 applications..
  • Tiles Plugin - A new plugin allows your Struts actions to return Tiles pages. The Tiles plugin is dependant on Tiles 2, which is still in beta.
