Support of Struts 7

[afattahi54]

I recently find that the next version of struts will be Struts 7 which will migrate to JakartaEE

I wonder if there is any plane for this upgrade

Thanks

Any plans for this upgrade?

There is a conflict between Freemarker versions, it has been resolved in Struts 7 branch yet no new Milestone version to allow start working on upgrade.

The milestone version of Struts 7.x is already available https://lists.apache.org/thread/vns833ospsvvw5p2qzh34po4sdlfy155

Yes, there is already the M7 as well but it's missing this fix apache/struts#970

I ran now into this issue too when I migrated to 7.x.x from 2.5. I have Struts 7 and Spring Boot 3.1 running now. And this plugin was causing

For English speakers:

Hello, I wanted to know if there has been any update on this topic, as I am currently working on the migration of some projects that use the following libraries:

com.jgeppert.struts2.jquery
com.jgeppert.struts2.jquery
com.jgeppert.struts2.jquery

Originally, the code is in Java 1.6 and Struts 2.3.1.1, and we are migrating to Java 17 and Struts 6.6.0 to deploy on WildFly 27.0.1.Final. In these new versions, they use 'jakarta.*' instead of 'javax.*', so it is essential for our team to migrate the libraries to versions that support 'jakarta.*'.

I might be reaching out in the wrong repository, and there could be another one where this update has already been done. If so, could you please share it?

Para hispanohablantes:

Hola, quería saber si tenían alguna actualización sobre este tema, ya que actualmente me encuentro trabajando en la migración de unos proyectos que usan estas librerías:

com.jgeppert.struts2.jquery:struts2-jquery-plugin
com.jgeppert.struts2.jquery:struts2-jquery-richtext-plugin
com.jgeppert.struts2.jquery:struts2-jquery-grid-plugin

Originalmente, el código está en Java 1.6 y Struts 2.3.1.1, y estamos migrando, inicialmente, a Java 17 y Struts 6.6.0 para desplegar en WildFly 27.0.1.Final. En estas nuevas versiones usan "jakarta.*" y no "javax.*", por lo que nos es imperativo en el equipo migrar las librerías a versiones que soporten "jakarta.*".

Tal vez estoy consultando en el repositorio equivocado y existe alguno donde esta actualización ya haya sido hecha previamente, si es así, me la podrían compartir?

Struts 6.6.0 is 'javax.' not 'jakarta.'. You will need to use v7 for 'jakarta.*' which is soon to be released.

@gregh3269 - Is there a release date set for v7?

[gregh3269]

Not sure of the exact date but in November hopefully. You can try M9 which is quite stable.

[dja557]

Thanks! Where do we log issues with M9 if we find any?

[gregh3269]

Help testing would be good. I see them on the dev list. But not sure if that is the correct place @lukaszlenart?

[lukaszlenart]

Dev list is preferable

Rather not quickly, I can try looking into it once first release of Struts 7 is out.
