I 100% agree, Struts is good staff for use by the end of the day, but it can slow development process. So, can we do something to reduce that “backslash”? My answer is – yes, by introducing tools that helps developers to “fight” with Struts complexity. Can Struts be better from functional prospective? Of course yes, however, it can increase complexity even more, so we see more demand for good tools.
Once again, I do not to offend anybody.
Thank you for answer,

Igor,
In our experience, struts will decrease initial productivity due to the learning
curve. However, this will be time well spent, assuming you will be getting
maintainable application, plus struts is widely used, so there is a good chance you
will be able to find talent if needed.
Re. individual components. Start with well defined directory structure for your
source, images, etc. and ant based build script. Keep adding functionality as you
feel that there is a need for it. (E.g.: need to authenticate users. Before
implementing your own authentication search the archives, you will find that a lot
of problems were already discussed and solved)

I don't have real numbers but thousands of hours of work from many highly
paid software engineers has gone into Struts. Say an average developer gets
$50/hour * 2000 hours (probably low) = $100,000.
Does your company or your clients want to pay that much to develop their own
framework?
