Thank you, Vic.
Sure, multiply config files is essential, you cannot manage big project with several people working with single struts-config over CVS without merge and conflicts, which is very hard to fix in XML file. But using several config files make your life even more complicated – and the result do not become less coupled, - I hate inter-modular goto in 1.1 style … I have a hope one day Struts gurus will introduce “real modules” into struts, with ability to “call” sub-module and “return” from it, so I can split my now “cast in concrete” struts application into small, manageable modules with strong interface definitions…

I got a chance to work on some big Stuts projects, and we did not use any "tools". Anycase, that is not the major stumbling block.
Mostly people need help with modular programing (and some reuse via OO), and other typical project issues.
100 pages is not that bad at all. Consider having several Struts.con fig files.... and also consider a mentor (that has production Struts experience) because mentors can be very cost effective.

Hello, everybody!
Does anybody have a real experience with GUI based Struts development tools, like Camino or Adalon or Objects Assembler? I mean use it for real project with more then 100 pages and actions. I have bad feeling about managing big struts-confin file with all relationship to action classes and JSP pages (with a majority of team barely understand what Struts is) – but I have very limited “real struts experience”. May be somebody try this tools in project with positive or negative result? I know, some developers do not like complicated tools at all (Emax is the best tool ever :-), but I don’t think that such brilliant technology, like Struts, has to stick forever with stone age tools, like “Struts Console” with complicated and time consuming dialogs etc. Moreover, I think use of such tools will bring new capabilities to Struts technology itself – like real modular structure and capabilities to reuse modules.
Thank you very much,
