For those of you that have not heard about it before... This project is a small little thing I put together that allows you to expose parts of a Struts-based application as Web Services without any changes to the existing code. It's got a number of limitations, but does work and is actually useful in some cases (I am currently using it in a large production app at work with a lot of success).
When I started the project, I had a grandiose idea of this being an all-encompassing method for everyone to use in all WS situations, but after the feedback I've recieved and thinking about it more and actually using it myself, I've come to the conclusion that it's never going to suit all needs no matter how far I take it. However, I think it is still a good solution in some cases, sometimes even an ideal approach (i.e., an existing app is probably the best candidate).
It also can prove to be a very quick and easy way for a developer familiar with Struts to get going with WS without being overly concerned with all the intricacies that go along with them.
In any case, it's out there if anyone is interested.
