Your best bet for more information is the Shale web site:
http://struts.apache.org/struts-shale/
Brief answers to your questions follow.
I have few questions .
>
> 1) How it is related to Struts framework
Shale shares the Struts *community*, but it does not share any code with
Struts 1.x.
2) How it works
Shale assumes that JavaServer Faces already exists, and adds value by
improving functionality and ease of use.
3) Is part of Struts or differ
Part of the community, but a different software package.
4) How it will be useful/ advantage to existing Struts framework
If you want to use JSF with an existing Struts app, your best bet would be
to start from the Struts-Faces integration library instead:
http://struts.apache.org/struts-faces/
Using Shale would be an option for new development where you wanted to
leverage JSF.
5) What kind of programming language requried for Shale framework
Java, of course :-)
6) What i can do with Shale framework.
Build web applications using Java and JSF technology.
7) Is Shale framework going to compete with other frameworks like JSF,
> which is component oriented architecture
Shale *requires* JSF and extends it with additional ease of use
capabilities, plus features that users of Struts 1.x are familiar with, such
as Tiles and Commons Validator integration.
may be my question are repeated but help me out in clearing this confusion
