Struts has also fallen further and further behind technically in its space. (This has what has led to the Webwork merger so that the "Struts umbrella" could offer something reasonably up-to-date.)

Yes, note that I am actually not the best qualified person to answer this.

Now, it's obviously a valid question that Struts developers should answer. They decided to abandon work on Struts 1.x and bring Webwork over here and work on that. So they really should be the ones to answer your question. However, one gets the sense that they don't want to answer such questions....


I keep seeing posts claiming Struts Action/Classic is technically old etc etc; is there a resource available summarizing how exactly this is true?

It did not take me long using google to find the following page:

http://wiki.opensymphony.com/display/WW/Comparison+to+Struts

Of course, that list was surely worked up by the Webwork people and is thus, not from an unbiased source. Still, I would suppose that the points there are truthful.

In any case, the fact is that the Struts developers have decided that they prefer to move the Webwork code over here and work on that, so they have accepted that Webwork is better. I think that has to be taken at face value, since, you'd think that most people in their situation would prefer to have a tooth extracted rather than accept that their work is inferior. But that is what happened.
