I would like to disabuse the "usuals" of an assumption that seems to pervade

The very idea that Struts 1.x is a viable choice for a new project is itself
really questionable.
The only conditions where I see it making sense is for people who
already have a significant investment in using Struts 1.x and,
therefore, know all the various API's and the various gotchas like the
backs of their hands.
Then, pragmatically speaking, it could well be the easiest, fastest way
for those people to crank out some typical kind of web app.
But what started off this discussion was a query from someone who had
never used Struts (or any competing java framework) before. Given those
parameters, it seems crazy to recommend Struts 1.x at this stage of
history. If the developers of the thing basically say it's obsolete and
won't be developed further, why on earth should this not be taken at
face value?

I have to wonder how anyone looking at the issues
could think that and be taken seriously. Is there nothing on this list that
is settled truth? Nothing? I thought at least the fact that this community
has abandoned Struts 1.x as second rate ought to be unassailable grounds for
NOT recommending it to people asking for advice. But, I guess not. I don't
know if a normal conversation is possible with this community.

Frank, this is uncalled for.
Talk about uncalled for... you call me deplorable and ignorant in another
post, and what *I* said is uncalled for?
Jonathan is clearly right on this and you
are
clearly wrong.
I bow to your omnipotence. You clearly have all the answers, and the rest
of us are just lucky to be living on the same planet as you. I would not
dare to debate you, since I am so clearly, totally and utterly wrong about
everything.
And as with Jonathan, feel free to have the last word. I've already been
drawn in more than I should have allowed. Then again, when dealing with
someone so clearly superior to myself, how could I have hoped to do
better?
