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.

- 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".
