Well, there is at least one guy using Stripes here in France ! And I'm sure I'm not alone... Have you tried to talk about it with the ParisJUG folks ?
And btw, the Struts2 folks haven't copied Stripes sources... even if obviously they should have... :P Cheers Remi 2009/6/15 DaveMark <[email protected]>: > > Hello again, > > To fill you all in on why I did this guide... > > I recently came out of a large scale project designed for up to 10,000 > simultaneous users and up to 100,000 total users.
