I thought it looks pretty good, I think projects like this have their place. Especially, in light of the fact that we're not going to see Action2 for a little while (even then there'll be some tweaking to get it right) and there are a lot of Struts apps out there that want to take advantage of Java 5.
I get the impression people are giving up on Struts (Struts action 1, that is). I see that advantages in other frameworks but most of these frameworks were around when people made the decision to base their projects on struts. Which leads me to believe that a lot of people, like myself, like using struts. I'm not naïve, I know it has issues, but it also has advantages and at the end of the day we have too much invested to just throw it all out and start from scratch using something else. I don't want to start the sort of crap we had a few weeks ago, so I'm going to try and limit the scope of my question. I like that there are now three frameworks under the struts umbrella and I think each serves a purpose, but what I'm concerned about is that struts 1 will be left in legacy mode where you might get the odd bug fix but no forward progress. As I said we have way too much invested in struts 1 projects and nobody here wants to jump in and start rebuilding each project using a new framework. We would rather have the ability to take advantage of the new features and developments in extending and maintaining these projects without having to rebuild the whole project. In essence what I like about Strecks is that it enables us to: 1. Take advantage of Java 5 features 2. Take advantage of simplified development structure 3. Deal with the worst bits of Struts while still maintaining backwards compatibility. Is this something we are going to see as part of ongoing struts action development?
