h2. Short Term Roadmap
The following bullets define a short term roadmap of functionality that should be included before an initial release of this technology:
* Provide View Controller support for subviews (things included via Request Dispatcher include calls) - DONE!
* Integration of transparent Spring bean generation in the managed beans facility - DONE!
* Integration of Commons Validator for client- and server-side validation support - DONE!
* Integration of Commons File Upload for file upload support
* Integration of Struts Tiles (or, more likely, the standalone variant of Tiles being proposed for incubation) for templating support - DONE!
* Refinements to the View Controller and Dialog Controller APIs for even easier use, and robustness in the face of exceptions thrown by application logic
* Fleshing out the unit test framework (struts-shale-test) with mocks for the remaining framework APIs
* Instrumenting the Use Cases example app with unit tests using the test framework. - DONE!
* Explore integration with "workflow" technologies like Spring Web Flow and Beehive's [PageFlows].

h2. Long Term Roadmap
Longer term plans (but could be incorporated into an initial release if sufficient developer interest exists to make it happen):
* Server side infrastructure to respond to background XML requests from JSF components (or other code) that has client side [JavaScript] behavior
* Add some JSF components to provide easy developer access to these sorts of facilities, plus examples of how they can be used
