Hopefully, this will trigger this to be an OT topic from this point forward.
I have been ignoring this thread for the most part, but with all the postings figured I would glance over it.
There are dozens of large Struts sites out there. I have worked on a lot of Enterprise Class websites that Use Struts. It is a solid viable framework solution which is easy to learn and implement.
A few sites that I have been involved with:
BlueCross / BlueShield
TRICARE Call Center
AHOLD USA
MeadWestvaco
Rockwell Automation
All of these sites I consider large (Some running several hundred thousand transactions per hour and supporting thousands of simultaneous users). I am not knocking .NET or any other programming platform. There are many great examples of each of these available. But Struts is a framework will be around for a long time to come. JSF, SHELL, and others are building off of the lessons learn from this framework and will become just as popular over time.
If you don't like Struts, Java, J2EE... fine, go on to .NET or what ever else you choose. The are all valid solutions with limitations and features that attract and deter based on what you need. But can we please get these emails back on track. I would prefer reading messages on tips, techniques, and problems rather than all this complaining. It is amusing to a point, annoying after that.

Can you guys start marking this topic "OT"?
Seems like someone from PR is getting paid to hijack this mail group. Can some of the seasoned guys step in here so they'll pay attention?

Your discussion of a "struts signature" shows once again you don't
have a clue beyond fairly simple amateur topics, Xu.
