We have deployed a stable pricing calculators using struts2 ( 2.0.8 )
on jboss 4
We have moved away from the old jsp architecture to s2
some of the key considerations/features/benefits are
- Reusability
-- ability to map multiple actions to diff
methods of the same class
-- tiles integration to reuse gui components
- Framework featurs
-- use introspection to create beans/class
instances/variables based on the names in gui to ones in srvr
-- validation
-- tag libs ( this is a highlight of s2 )
- Good user group support
-- active threads on various topics
-- continuos release cycles with planned dates,
JIRA issue tracking
- Dojo support with performance tuning
- Flexibility to play around/modify
Right now I have tweaked the css_xhtml theme for
validation,
The css_xhtml theme displays the error msgs in a
div, I modified validation.js
to show all the error msgs in a div called error
div, which gives me the ability to show all the errors
at one place, rather than spread the error msg
next each field.
This is lot cleaner interms of user experience
So all in all I would recomment struts2. My knowledge however is
not enough to comment on struts2-jsf integration.
Because I have read one comment in struts2 documenation that
this combination was to enable what each does best.
so the gui tags of jsf leaves a lot to be explored for me.
However, I see that struts2 is powerful enough replicate
complex gui's, on the fly variable creation in gui ( say a
schedule ) and capturing on the server side
I myself havent explored the richness of all the features.
My sincere thanks to the struts2 team, you guys have done a
great job !!!!
Thanks to all the contributors to this user-support mailing
list, without whose help many questions would have
been left unanswered !!!
Our application is quiet stable, and gives us good performance
too.
I am gonna encourage my friends to consider struts2 as a
middleware framework for many applications !!

This is a key for me. My team and I have been using an ancient version
of struts 1.X for over 3.5 years on the same project and I am evaluating
struts 2 to see if some of the webwork mentality (convention over
configuration) and other elements will make it more 'pleasurable' in our
day-to-day coding. Sometimes even doing things 'differently' after
doing the same thing the same way over and over again can be
'pleasurable'. I'm converting over a small struts 1.X system and taking
careful notes of the pros and cons and hope to be done soon. From a
business perspective I know if something works, don't mess with it. But
there are real people spending 40-60 hours per week coding and their
ultimate happiness has a great impact on the resulting product.
