## Introduction

This document contains the release notes for Version 1.0.2 of the Struts Framework, and covers changes that have taken place since Version 1.0.1 was released. The following sections cover New Features and Changes to Struts.

This version covers bug-fixes only; no new functionality.

## What's Included?

The binary distribution of this release includes the following files relevant to Struts 1.0.2:

- `INSTALL` - Brief installation instructions. See the `Struts Documentation Application` , or online at http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/ for more information.
- `LICENSE` - The Apache Software Foundation license that defines the terms under which you can use Struts (and other software licensed by Apache).

- `lib/` - Directory containing files you will need in your own applications. The individual files of interest are:

  - `struts-xxxxx.tld` - The tag library descriptor files for the Struts 1.0.2 tag libraries (bean, html, logic, and template). You must place these files in the `/WEB-INF` directory of your web application, and reference them with appropriate `<taglib>` directives in your web.xml file.
  - `jdbc2_0-stdext.jar` - The JDBC 2.0 Optional Package API classes (package `javax.sql` ). You will need to include this file in the `/WEB-INF/lib` directory of your application, if it is not already made visible to web applications by your servlet container.
  - `struts-config_1_0.dtd` - The document type descriptor (DTD) for the Struts configuration file (which is typically named `/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml` . Your configuration file will be validated against an internal copy of this DTD -- this copy is available for reference purposes only.
