I've been using Struts (1.0) for a few months now, and I'm not seeing a big advantage to using it other than that it does Model 2 (which is very very wise) and hides some of the heavy lifting.
ActionForms get you server side form validation and HTTP parameters->bean mapping. The taglibs get you reduced scriplet code and hooks to the form bean. Actions get you a clean place to write controller code and a way to easily forward to presentation jsps. Is that all Struts does? Or are there features I'm missing? Is it just a framework abstracting away the easy stuff into easier stuff? I'm not trying to start a war - I'm sorry if I'm coming of antagonistic. I'm not intending any ill will. I'm just having a hard time figuring out why Struts is so popular. thanks - gene __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
