Difference between struts 1.1 and 1.2

[Sathish Kumar Govindan]

Hi,
I need the Difference between struts 1.1 and 1.2.........

[Merrill Higginson]

The three differences I see as most significant are:

Deprecation of ActionError class. (Use ActionMessage instead)

Ability to use wildcard characters in action mappings

Improvments in the validation framework, including the "validwhen" rule

Hi Ramesh,
The url you had sent is really nice and having a good information. Thank You.

Note that the posted link contains differences from Struts 1.x to Struts 2. Struts 2 is significantly different from Struts 1.3.

As confusing as Struts versions are already, let's not make it more confusing. When someone asks the difference between Struts 1.1 and 1.2, that is not the same as asking the differences between Struts 1 and Struts 2.

Ramesh's link is indeed a great link with excellent information. Please note, though, that it explains the difference between Struts 1 and Struts 2, not the difference between Struts 1.1 and Struts 1.2 (both of which are Struts 1 versions).

Yeah thats very true Merill Higginson..

Thanks for pointing out!
