Well, I do not find it surprising because Struts is the
well known player and developers know exactly what to expect. IMO, Struts is
not bad at all for many applications especially if developers use their brains
and do not follow âconventionalâ Struts practices like
- having duplicates for all the properties of business objects in the
ActionForms;
It is not necessary to do so, or to be more precise there are rare cases when
it makes sense;
-or creating long if statements in Action execute() method;
a little bit of reflection and name conventions easily allow to call
individual methods on Action classes pretty much like in Tapestry.
Combined with XDoclet based generation of struts configuration file and
sitemesh or tiles it creates reasonable enough and flexible environment to
develop in. It definitely looks better than JSF :).

the amount of code it takes to do anything in JSF I might tend to agree.
But still, struts?
