Re: future of struts

[V. Cekvenich]

If anyone spends a large percentage of time in the tags, jsp or view, then they are not fully using Model2, MVC layers. Alas, there are a lot of people who are need help with Struts on this list. (One example: newbies tend not to unit test the bean, so they debug it in the JSP. A player uni tests the bean, so no issues in the view, just plop. )
JSP tags are an aside to Struts.

You can and should use JSTL. HTML tag also.

development time is spent with the tag library, as even a casual perusal
of this list reveals.

Any time spent improving the interface to struts has a disproportionate
effect on the efficiency of the developers using the platform.

Anyway, that is my $.02. ;->

There is no issue. Whether you use struts or not you can still use the taglibs. The taglibs in struts are, in that sense, independent of struts. Struts is an application framework first and a set of taglibs
as a bit of an aside, although there are obvious connections.

the following article i found at TheServerSide.com

The tag libraries bundled with Struts provide access to simple and

indexed properties; the

org.apache.struts.taglib.nested package contains tags that access simple

and indexed properties in a

nested combination. For a complete list of all tags available with

Struts, refer to the

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/index.html; more resources

on

Struts are available at

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/resources/index.html. The future

direction of Struts is to transition

over to JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL) and JavaServer

Faces tags.

But what does the last sentence mean. do i have to throw my HTML-pages
away because the STRUTS tags
are not longer needed. Or is there a misunderstanding?
