It was nice meeting you and attending your Struts 1.1 session on Tuesday. I'm curious what came of the BOF to discuss the future of Struts.
I'd be really interested in your thoughts on the XDoclet work I've done, especially in the Struts Validator realm. I'm generating validation.xml completely, and also all the form bean definitions in our system. I also use XDoclet to process form beans for a one-time starter code generation of a JSP page (templated to our specific look and feel) for a specified form bean, as well as the resource properties that can be used as a starting point for the application resource properties for the field labels. Its amazing amount of generation just on the Struts-side of things, but we use XDoclet for even more than that too.
As for DynaActionForm's.... I still don't get their benefit. Do you use them? Or right ActionForm subclasses? Its even less code to "write" to do a form bean for me, because my IDE generates all the getter/setters, and being able to generate validation.xml makes it so worthwhile. :)
Take care and hopefully I'll get a chance to chat with you further at some point during the week at ApacheCon.

If you're coming to Las Vegas this week for ApacheCon, there will be two sessions and a BOF specifically focused on Struts:* Session TU07 (Tuesday, 1:30-2:30) - What's New In Struts 1.1 * Session WE06 (Wednesday, 10:00-11:00) - Building Web Applications With Struts * BOF BOF03 (Tuesday, 8:00p-9:00p) - Struts After 1.1 -- Where Do We Go From Here? The BOF is primarily an opportunity to gather input from folks on our initial thinking about the 1.2 and 2.0 roadmaps, and to answer any general questions that people have. I look forward to meeting any Struts users (and developers) attending the conference. You can find me at one of these sessions, or hanging around the Sun booths in the Exhibit Hall.
