> I'm happy to announce the immediate availability of an integration library
> that allows you to use the recently published EA3 release of JavaServer
> Faces <http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces/> with a recent 
> Struts build (nightly build 20030216 or later, or the upcoming 1.1-
> rc2 or final release).  Nightly builds of this package are available 
> at:
> 
>   http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/nightly/struts-faces/
> 
> The sources for this package are in the "contrib/struts-faces"
> subdirectory of the "jakarta-struts" CVS repository.
> 
> You should take note of the following important points:
> 
> * The design goal of this library was to allow Struts application
>   developers to migrate the view tier of their applications from the
>   existing Struts tags, to pages that use corresponding JavaServer Faces
>   component tags, with no changes to the corresponding business 
> logic.  This goal has been substantially achieved for simple applications
>   so far; additional work will be necessary for more advanced apps.
>   As a proof of concept, the JavaServer Faces based version of the
>   canonical "struts-example" web application is included in the
>   distribution, so that you can see for yourself how little had to be
>   changed.
> 
> * The integration library has been tested under Tomcat 4.1.18 and
>   the Java Web Services Developer Pack (version 1.0_01), although in
>   principle it should run on any Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 container.
>   (It will not run on Servlet 2.2/JSP 1.1 containers).
> 
> * There is a known issue when trying to run JavaServer Faces EA3
>   under the recently released Java Web Services Developer Pack
>   (version 1.1).  Watch the JavaServer Faces web page (at the URL
>   listed above) for up-to-date information on workarounds.
> 
> * The JavaServer Faces distribution is an EA release, not suitable 
> for  use in production environments.  In addition, the license terms 
>  under which it can be downloaded prohibit redistribution. 
>  Therefore,  you will need to download your own copy of JavaServer 
> Faces EA3 and  integrate it with the example application before it 
> can be deployed.
> 
> * The integration library should also be considered to be of alpha
>   quality, not suitable for production use.  There are a set of known
>   issues and limitations at the bottom of the README.txt file. 
>  Please  file bugs against this package in the usual Bugzilla location:
> 
>     http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/
> 
> * For generic questions about JavaServer Faces (i.e. not related to this
>   integration library), your best resource is the JavaServer Faces forum
>   (free registration required) at:
> 
>     http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=427
> 
> See the README.txt file in the top-level subdirectory for more information
> about installing and using this release.
