IMHO it's the presence of too many layers of applications. For a simple thing like a search result you have to do (for example in Struts 1): - the JSP page - the DAO - the service that calls the DAO - the domain objects - the action that calls the service, and the ActionForm - the configuration of the action - then go again to JSP pages to link actions together There are pieces that can be avoided, but the structure almost remains this one. I think that approaches like NakedObjects [1] and Roma Framework [2] could help avoiding this tedious work. Anyway there is always some work for adaptation on your particular case, many times they seem to be a unique case that cannot be put in the general vision of the framework, so you stick on coding it with simple frameworks (like Struts 1) or no frameworks at all.
