>> Hi,
>>
>> I have merged in Murod's work on the Struts2 upgrade. Thanks to Murod
>> for good work on this!
>>
>>
>> Additionally the dhis-support-webwork (struts) has been merged with
>> dhis-web-commons as the code fit nicely here. (You can remvoe
>> dhis-support-webwork from your IDE.)
>>
>> There are lots of good things about this:
>>
>> - The login time has gone from 21 sec to 1 sec.
>>
>> - We were allowed to remove the custom webwork configuration
>> initialization code. Struts handles loading of config files from jars
>> itself.
>>
>> - Struts2 has a lot of nice features, like support for validation,
>> i18n, and direct submission of forms to domain objects which can
>> improve our code potentially.
>>
>>
>>
>> For those interested in learning more I have uploaded Struts2 In
>> Action here: http://folk.uio.no/larshelg/readings/Stuts2_In_Action.pdf
>>
>>
>> I will have a go at the local modules too soon. Migration guide for
>> web modules below.
>>
>> The Spring security upgrade needs some more work before being merged in.
>>
>>
>> Lars
>>
>>
>>
>> - Rename xwork.xml to struts.xml, change root xml element tag from
>> <xwork> to <struts> and change the DTD to:
>>
>> <!DOCTYPE xwork PUBLIC "-//OpenSymphony Group//XWork 1.0//EN"
>>  "http://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/xwork-1.0.dtd";>
>>
>> - In web.xml, replace the WebWork filter definition with
>>
>> <filter>
>>    <filter-name>Struts</filter-name>
>>
>>  <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
>>  </filter>
>>
>> and change the name of the filter mapping from WebWork to Struts.
>>
>> - In action classes, change all package names from
>> "com.opensymphony.xwork" to "com.opensymphony.xwork2", and
>> "com.opensymphony.webwork" to "org.apache.struts2".
