The intent of this page is to provide a list of issue/resolutions as encountered while migrating from Struts 2.0.x to 2.1.x. The ultimate aim is to have a proper migration guide, but as 2.1.x is still evolving, any of the issue/resolutions found in this page may become obsolete any time. |
Feel free to redraft material in this space! (That's why it's here!)Migration issue/resolutions
The issues are listed in the same order as encountered after changing jars over from 2.0.x to 2.0.1. Noteworthy the migration was done under the following setup: Fedora core 6, JDK 1.6.0_2 and Tomcat 6.0.10 running from MyEclipse plugin.
Result type redirect-action was renamed to redirectAction:

<s:head theme="ajax"/> is obsolete, use different theme:
Problem Symptom:
Accessing any page that includes <s:head theme="ajax"/> produces the following error:
...
Use a different theme e.g. <s:head theme="xhtml" />
ajax ui tags were moved to dojo plugin, use /struts-dojo-tags taglib instead of (or in addition to) /struts-tags:
Problem Symptom:
Accessing a page containing ajax UI tags through using the struts 2 taglib will produce the following error:
...
Note the use of remote div is now through the dojo plugin taglib sx. Other ui tags are also no longer available through the /struts-tags taglib but only through the /struts-dojo-tags taglib: datetimepicker and autocompleter.
User-defined converter (subclassing StrutsTypeConverter) will no longer be needed when using datetimepicker:
Problem Symptom: Your custom StrutsTypeConverter implementation does not longer work in version 2.1.x. In 2.0.x you needed to implement a custom StrutsTypeConverter e.g. StringToDateConverter to be able to parse and convert to Date the String posted from a datetimepicker control into the action. In version 2.0.x datetimepicker was posting a String formatted as specified in the "displayFormat" field e.g.

Need to disable struts.devMode. This is not really a migration issue but rather seems a bug in 2.1.x:
Problem Symptom: You receive the following exception accessing a page:
