<p>Struts has been good to me. I want Struts to keep being improved
and to
remain the Java web framework of choice.</p>
+ <h4 id="apetrelli">Antonio Petrelli -- Committer</h4>
+
+ <p>My first encounter with Struts was at the university in June
+ 2003, when my teacher gave me an assignment in which I had
+ to convert a sample web application using Struts. In this
+ sample webapp I also used Tiles.</p>
+
+ <p>After that the same teacher gave me my thesis assignment, in
+ which I had to develop the missing part of a web
application
+ rapid prototyping tool based on Struts and Tiles.</p>
+
+ <p>After my graduation, I worked for a year at the same
+ university and my job was to enhance that tool to support
+ multi-user and multi-device applications, with different
+ modelling techniques, so my experience with Struts and
+ especially Tiles grew more and more. I discovered and
+ enhanced
+ <a
href="http://mutidimensions.sourceforge.net/";>Dimensions</a>,
+ that extends Tiles to create multi-user and multi-device
+ applications. It was then when I learned a lot of Tiles
+ internals.</p>
+
+ <p>My job at the university finished and I went into the "real
+ world", but I continued to work on Dimensions as a hobby,
+ and I kept my subscription in both users and developers
+ Struts mailing lists. One day I noticed that Greg Reddin
was
+ working on a stand-alone version of Tiles, so I decided to
+ rework Dimensions accordingly. I submitted some patches for
+ bugs and enhancements in Tiles. After a while, in June
+ 2006, I've been invited by Greg Reddin himself to become a
+ committer: you can't imagine my joy!</p>
+
+ <p>My current job does not involve Struts nor Tiles anymore
+ (sigh) but I go on writing code for Tiles in the spare
time.
+ My Java EE interests are in the view layer and in
+ synchronization between client's browser and application
+ server: the latter led me to create
+ <a href="http://scopes.sourceforge.net/";>Scopes</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>I hope that Tiles will become a great software and I will
do
+ my best.</p>
