As I understood trhe documentation - it does not wish to communicate with stored procedures on purpose as a design desicision so that new DBs can be plugged in and out interchanbgeably more easily. But I guess they could still design that functionality anyway for those developers who must integrate with DB's that may have already got stored procedures in them.

String action = form.getAction() if ( action.equalsIgnoreCase("prompt")) { ... return mapping.findFrward("prompt); } else if ( action.equalsIgnoreCase("add")) { ... return mapping.findFrward("add"); } else if ( action.equalsIgnoreCase("remove")) { ... return mapping.findFrward("remove"); } The ActionForm bean is redundant because Expresso has its own controller element architecture. The powerful feature to use Expresso would be the ease-of-use of its database objects, especially if you work database-driven applications. It is missing communication with store procedures though.

Now I am looking at possibly using Expresso to speed development. In anyone's experience what would I lose by moving to Expresso. I can see how it would speed development, but do I lose anything that struts gives me? Is there anything that I would come across that I could not do with Expresso that I could do with Struts? I've read all the JCorporate docs on the struts integration and such, but would like to draw on the experience of those more, well experienced. I guess I am at the point where I understand Struts so I am hesitant to move on to something else if I will just be coming back to struts later. My needs rotate mostly around rapid development of applications. Thanks much for this information and all the previous help in getting me going with struts. PS. For anyone starting with struts, get Ted Husted's struts-catalog and read it once a day while you are learning struts. In the beginning you may not understand it, but as the days go on, more and more will help you out. (Thanks Ted) Bill Chmura Ensign-Bickford Industries, Inc.
