The tag prefix conventions in the example applications have changed.

New property settings

New members or feature changes

• Datepicker tag is now using dojo's (limited in terms functionality and internationalization)
• Various changes to ConfigurationManager
  • ConfigurationManager is no longer a static factory. It is now an instance created through Dispatcher. Custom configuration could be done through DispatcherListener.
  • Custom configuration to ConfigurationManager and Configuration cannot be done statically anymore, instead use Dispatcher's DispatcherListener to achieve the same effect.
• The prepare interceptor now uses reflection to call prepare_Method_ where method is the action method configured for the particular action in struts.xml.

  Code Block
  <action name="myAction" method="insert" ....> ..... </action> // with the above configuration, and PrepareInterceptor in play, // callsequence will be 1] prepareInsert() (If it exists) 2] prepare() (Unless Interceptor's alwaysInvokePrepare parameter is set to false) 3] insert()

• DefaultWorkflowInterceptor (named workflow in struts-default.xml) now uses reflection to call validateMethod on the action class that implements Validateable interface where method is the action method configured for the particular action in struts.xml.

  Code Block
  <action name="myAction" method="insert" ...> ... </action> // with the above configuration, and DefaultWorkflowInterceptor in play, // call sequence for action that implements Validateable interface will be 1] validateInsert() 2] validate() (unless Interceptor's alwaysInvokeValidate parameter is set to false) 3] insert()

oldSyntax	Support for the "oldSyntax" is removed.
Rich text editor tag	Rich text editor tag has been removed (a possible replacement would be to use the textarea tag with theme="ajax", this will used dojo's rich text editor) Code Block <s:textarea theme="ajax" />
