Hmm... I read on a link on another post the following Some might say that the Spring framework just *handles* Struts better than > Struts handles itself >
So the conclusion is Struts is mature and stable like Frank Zammetti said and any more revolutionary concept or any added eye opening functionality can only be brought in by a new framework , like Spring. As such the struts frame work is dependent of the servlet container where as the spring framework is a light weight container and the current swing is towards lighter containers. On 3/13/06, Frank W.
