[Opensource] Changes to struts-config dtd

[Malcolm Wise]

Mike,

Certainly, the <action> attributes that have been removed (namely forward,
include, parameter) are all optional, and shouldn't affect existing Expresso
apps (indeed the contrary may be true - some Expresso 4.02 apps may have
made use of these and will no longer work under 4.1 :-) ).  As for the
changes to the <data-source> element, this is slightly worrying, as the
Expresso 4.1ea3 version reverts to a format that is deprecated in the
current struts version!  Is it possible that an old version of the dtd has
found it's way into the 4.1 distribution by mistake?

Cheers
Malc

Malcom,

I actually can't tell you, since Mike N. was the main author of the
Expresso integration.  (I seem to be saying this a lot today :) )

Tell me, (since I haven't stopped to look at the Struts DTD)  does having
those items included in the action element mess up the current
compatability implementation? ex: are any of them required attributes and
thus would force all Expresso writers to rewrite their app xml files?

If not, I can certainly include it for your use in the final release of 4.1

HTH!
                                                 -Mike
