Thanks Ted, that does help. I have taken this one step further than your description. I am a Sr Dev/Architect at my present company, and we've been using a tiered architecture that flows like so: .NET (either ASP.NET or Windows Forms .NET) | (SOAP through .NET Web service proxy) V Apache AXIS web services (Residing in Apache Tomcat) | (AXIS uses Java reflection here) V Business Delegate pattern Java classes | (Didn't really delegate too much :) ) V Custom DAL layer | (JDBC) V Database Seeing the power of Struts, I wanted to move more toward an MVC architecture, esp. since we have two "view" apps for this application. Instead of utilizing Struts, because of its Java-centric view pieces, I have developed an architecture based on the open source STRUTS framework. Right now this has three man-weeks worth of work into it. I have checked with the Director of Technology at my company, and the company wants to contribute to Open Source, since Struts and other Apache Group projects have made my life ever so much easier. I thought that since my custom framework was based on STRUTS, that this was the right project to try to contribute back to the community. My simple code may not be "up to snuff", but it's my meagre attempt at a contribution. I must admit, I would LOVE to begin to contribute back to the community because of all that I have learned and benefited. My next question for you Ted (or others), is: "How would I contribute this source back to Struts, and do you think that the committee would be interested in adopting this framework into the Struts project?"
