Most sucky part of struts is [was] FormBean - to be a form bean java object shall inherit from abstract one, and this sucks a lot. Assuming you like to have just CRUD for your objects - in struts you have toi go, and type all the form beans. ( well, use xdoclet to generate them ) in Webwork you can just make your bean [say: foo] property of action (conveniently derived from ActionSupport ), and then mark your fields with OGNL: foo/bar foo/blurge etc - you just reused your class as is. OK, you must take care to instantiate it at the right time, read/write data from database etc - but you must do this anyway. Webwork got really nice expression language, value stack and templating using velocity. When I introduced webwork in my company, I was in better position than you - I'm project leader, and enjoy some executive powers :) regards, ===== ----[ Konstantin Pribluda ( ko5tik ) ]---------------- Zu Verstärkung meines Teams suche ich ab Sofort einen Softwareentwickler[In] für die Festanstellung.
