before Version 1.0 of Struts can be released.</p>

<p>The TODO list tasks are divided into functional areas that correspond

to the major components of the Struts Framework. References in square
20
brackets are the Java package containing the corresponding source code.</p>

<task-list name="XML Digester [org.apache.struts.digester]" href="Digester">
65
<p>The Digester package supports scripted firing of "rules" based on
66
matching a particular pattern of nested XML tags. Among the predefined
67
rules that can be utilized are rules to create new objects, set bean
68
properties from the contents of attributes, or call arbitrary methods
69
with arguments based on the XML content being parsed. A common
70
use for this technology (illustrated in the Struts ActionServlet), is
71
parsing configuration files and building corresponding object trees.</p>

<task-list name="Bean Tag Library [org.apache.struts.taglib.bean]"
81
<p>This tag library contains basic tags useful in manipulating JavaBeans
82
and their properties. It includes support for getting and setting bean
83
properties using simple, nested, and subscripted accessor expressions.

<task-list name="HTML Forms Tag Library [org.apache.struts.taglib.html]"
94
<p>This tag library contains tags useful in preparing web applications that
95
use HTML forms as their primary mechanism for user data entry, as well as
96
support for internationalized and localized applications.</p>

<task-list name="Utility Classes" href="Util">

<p>This package contains a variety of utility classes useful within

Struts as well as in stand-alone applications.</p>

<p>Update the filtering supported by <code>BeanUtils.filter()</code>.
