I am happy to announce that the Version 3.3.0 of Struts2 jQuery Plugin is now available. The main change is the switch from jQuery 1.6.4 to the latest version 1.7.1 of the jQuery 1.7.x releases.
This Version includes a lot of library updates and 18 solved Issues. The Handler Functions are now split into two different JavaScript Files. One for the base jQuery AJAX Handling and one for the jQuery UI Tags. This improves the load time in all application which are running without jQuery UI widgets.
The Grid tag is now supporting frozen columns which comes with the latest jqGrid release 4.3.1. Simply add the frozen attribute to your first grid column to enable this feature. Also take a look at the new add and delete buttons in your Navigator when using Edit inline. To enable this buttons set the navigatorInlineEditButtons to true.
<sjg:gridColumn ... frozen="true" .. />The Struts2 jQuery Plugin provides now two Maven Archetypes for an easy start with Struts2, jQuery and Maven. The first is based on the Struts2 Convention Archetype but with included s2j dependencies. The second is for an easy start with the Grid Plugin. This new Archetypes shrinks the Steps described in my previous post 4 Easy Steps to create a Java based Web Application with Struts2 and jQuery to only one Step.
