Caroline, I learned Struts a little over the web before buying a Struts book (Struts in Action). That book had a section on Artimus but I found it very confusing. I was better served using lighter frameworks. I only got complicated once I started using Hibernate for my data access (DAO).
I wonder if anyone else had the kind of trouble with Artimus that I did...

Let me do all the checkings accordingly. Thank you. BTW, would you tell me what you think of the Artimus? I am new to Struts and I follow the Artimus example to learn Struts. Any comments on the Artimus will help me a whole lot.
