A property designed Struts application will list *everything* in the
Struts-config, which I think is a great advantage over any other
approach. You can also see where the flow is going ~without~ consulting
the source for dozens of classes. Sometimes, it's just hard to put new
wine in old bottles ;-)

It's open source, and can be reviewed just like the rest of your code.
(And it is also better *documented* than most of the "production" code
I've seen.)

The primary Struts developer, Craig McClanahan, not only wrote most of
Tomcat 4, he is now the implementation engineer for Sun's new Web
Services package. I'd think most development directors would like to
have people like Craig on their "team". ;-)

There are a number of Struts consultants listed at 

http://husted.com/struts/resources.htm#consultants

It's also important to remember that since it's open source, you can
make any fixes you deem necessary without anyone's help ;-)


>they are saying that it is open source therefore it is impossible to 
incorporate it on a production release

The Apache License permits use of the software in a commercial release.
No worries there!
