Adds support for Java 8 - to allow use the latest features of the language with Struts actions.
Usage
You must define it as a dependency in pom.xml
and exclude the old version of ASM used with xwork-core
, see a code snippet below:
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.struts.xwork</groupId> <artifactId>xwork-core</artifactId> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>asm</groupId> <artifactId>asm</artifactId> </exclusion> <exclusion> <groupId>asm</groupId> <artifactId>asm-commons</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency>
If you don't use Maven to manage the dependencies, please be sure to replace asm.jar
and asm-commons.jar
with appropriated ASM 5 versions.
