If that is Rickard's project, he and I have chatted briefly, and have a lot of
commonality in our goals, but some differences in approach, and -- at least at
that time -- preferred open source license (Struts uses the Apache Software
License; last time I checked all the JBoss stuff was GPL or LGPL).
I have not had a chance to play with this to date, so cannot give you any more
detailed or useful comparison. But Rickard is a smart guy, so I'm certainly
going to re-use any good ideas that I see there if they fit in to Struts :-)
