Since I dont have permissions to add messages to this forum. I will just reply
to the mailing list.

I just got back from holiday yesterday. I am reading all the messages in my INBOX
for the last two weeks. It was a bit of rush release to get Struts 1.1 fcs
integration so I am hope every thing is well.

The only things that I am not sure about in Struts 1.1 is

(*) Global Exception Handling (Setup Values exists in the ExpressoSchema)

(*) Struts Validator (Untested)

(*) Treating DBObjects by exposing the underlying map collection
(adding a DBObject.getMap() )thereby allowing JSTL EL expressions to work 
``dbobject.map.employeeId'' or ``dbobject.map['employeeId']''


The last issue I has come out as a similar in the Struts Dev list
Should a DynaBean, DynaActionForm expose a map collection?

getMap() can return a map collection

1) A copy of the map collection. Inefficient if the JSP makes
heavy use to EL expressions. Everytime the property is access
a map object is cloned.

2) Direct exposure. This exposes a security risk if the map
collection is mutable.
