I don't want to clog up the dev list with a philosophical debate =
(however
well meaning on Robert's part); no offense intended. I will have to try
harder to avoid such bait in the future. I was being facetious =
(Playfully
jocular; humorous: facetious remarks), when I said Struts is perfect.

I use Struts and find it useful for projects that I have worked on. It =
is
not perfect, nor have I found a framework that was perfect. However, I =
do
not wish to defend it (time is money). Next time you are in Tucson AZ, =
we
can grab a beer (or coffee) and discuss the finer points at length.

I am going to go with the other well thought out responses and say this
question belongs on the user list.

I will not respond to this thread any longer. My apologies for =
continuing
this thread on the dev list.

I am not sure that is true. Struts seems to lack of an API. IMO, there =
are
more required configurations than necessary. Take Action for example, to
write an Action, one has to paddle back and forth between the code and =
the
configuration. It is like an executable having to configure each of its
dlls. The visibility of the mappings is nice to have but the mappings =
can
be generated after the fact as in a debugging view. When the application =
is
finished, configurations become static. But since configurations are
required, they will be like loose ends of the application. Another =
issue:
how can one componentize his code and deploy it in a self-contained =
plug-in,
as with Eclipse? Please forgive my novice.
