1. Struts is maintained and supported by many developers and users, his framework is maintained by your small group (or even only him). This is the standard open source argument that OS projects are better because there are many people working on it.
2. Many developers are already familiar with struts so new team members don't need training in a proprietary framework. Struts is becoming so popular that it's darn near a standard in java web development. 4. Because struts is open source, you can modify the code to fit your needs. Although, a better/easier approach would be to extend the framework which is pretty easy. 5. To my knowledge, the struts team trys to maintain backwards compatibility for new releases and would not "trash" existing projects. 6. You can use JSTL tags alongside struts tags with no problems. 7. Ask for proof that struts is unreliable and can only support 100 users. Ask for the specific resources/test data he used to reach those figures. In my experience with struts, I've found it both reliable and scalable. Dave > > > > Hello Folks.
