Count on a final 1.0 release prior to JavaOne this year.

In practical terms, the quality difference between a beta release and a
final release in many/most open source projects is not substantial.

The best thing to do is try the alternatives for yourself, on a
modest-sized prototype that is typical of your actual requirements. None
of the examples you will read about really cover all the strengths (or the
weaknesses) of any particular infrastructure approach -- including the
trivially simple examples in my ApacheCon presentation about Struts, and
the equally trivially simple examples in documents such as "You Make The
Decision" that you will find elsewhere.
