Try looking through some of the posts here: http://www.javablogs.com/Search.jspa?query=struts+webwork
Some of the big problems I have with Struts are: 1)Have to have separate ActionForm classes for every Action. Not only that, but they have to extend from a base class, not just implement an interface. That's just poor. WebWork allows your action and form bean to be the same object (or not, up to you). It's also only based on an interface, which only has one method to implement "public String execute()" (although even that is not really necessary in WebWork 2, or at least it doesn't have to be). 2)Too tied to the web. Every method it seems sends around the HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse. Why? Can't you abstract any better than that? In WebWork you can still get to those, but you don't have to know about them (and tie your actions to them) if you don't want to. You can also do things like use your actions in either a web container or in a client app by using different dispatchers. In Xwork, we've made this distinction more real, as Xwork is completely independent and does not use any servlet stuff. Webwork 2 is built on top of Xwork, allowing it to do the web stuff it needs. ...nd more stuff, but that's a good start...
