I don't want to clog up the dev list with a philosophical debate (however well meaning on Robert's part); no offense intended. I will have to try harder to avoid such bait in the future. I was being facetious (Playfully jocular; humorous: facetious remarks), when I said Struts is perfect.
I use Struts and find it useful for projects that I have worked on. It is not perfect, nor have I found a framework that was perfect. However, I do not wish to defend it (time is money). Next time you are in Tucson AZ, we can grab a beer (or coffee) and discuss the finer points at length. I am going to go with the other well thought out responses and say this question belongs on the user list. I will not respond to this thread any longer. My apologies for continuing this thread on the dev list. -----Original Message----- From: Robert H.

IMO, there are more required configurations than necessary. Take Action for example, to write an Action, one has to paddle back and forth between the code and the configuration. It is like an executable having to configure each of its dlls. The visibility of the mappings is nice to have but the mappings can be generated after the fact as in a debugging view. When the application is finished, configurations become static. But since configurations are required, they will be like loose ends of the application. Another issue: how can one componentize his code and deploy it in a self-contained plug-in, as with Eclipse? Please forgive my novice. - Robert. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Hightower" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Developers List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 6:24 PM Subject: RE: Disadvantages of Struts? > Don't be silly.
