Fundamentally coding changes, I think, refect human needs as much as technical needs. Even good old procedural programming, which many college computer science advocates cannot let go of, had, I think, as its main difficulty the inability of a community to effectively code with it. So, many o

Thanks for your ideas, Matt. Some thoughts on this, relating the personal issues as much to Struts as possible, follow: The subtitle of "eXtreme Programming eXplained" is "EMBRACE CHANGE" by Kent Beck. This is all I am saying. Struts as it looks to v3.0 should embrace change as potential, wh

I certainly don't know enough about it to point you at its various pieces and say, "here's just what you need" (partly because I'm not crystal clear on what your requirements are).

Michael - I would have to say...get working. It is pretty obvious from this and the dev list that you are very unhappy with struts and its developers. While struts does some of what you want, it is very lacking for you. I think it is also obvious that your view of what struts should be does not
