XWork 1.0.3 Released

The OpenSymphony group is proud to announce the release of XWork 1.0.3.
This release is a minor repackaging of 1.0.2, which was missing xwork-validator-1.0.dtd. No code changes are in this release, so upgrading is 100% safe.

About XWork

XWork is a generic command pattern implementation and inversion of control (IoC) container. It is designed to be small, fast, and fit specifically for workflow-related usages, such as web application frameworks and workflow engines. WebWork provides the foundation for WebWork, a Java-based web framework.

Besides WebWork, you can find integration support in OSWorkflow and JPublish.

Core features include:

  • Command pattern implementation
  • Interceptor support allowing you to provide tight application integration
  • Inversion of Control framework, helping you manage complex component dependencies
  • Decoupled validation framework, letting you focus on disconnecting input validation from core business logic
  • Extremely fast and flexible expression language based off of OGNL
  • Advanced type conversion support, allowing you to never have to write data conversion code inside of your core business objects
