See the do?
and ? gets the article id from db via ibatis v2.
You can click arround, and see tiles, it's very tiles. 100 or so types of pages, each with many configurable tiles and each w/ dynamic content.
Ex:
http://playmate.1up.com
http://erosennin.1up.com
that is the same page!
It just displays diff. content.
How it works?
well... the prefix to 1up.com is a filter to user id.
So if I am user struts, it gets the struts, finds my user id, and displays that content from db (based on url).

However, I will say that there are production Struts systems out there. The biggest problem is that most of them are not visible. Here at Lands' End, I am the Technical Lead for a very large, very critical web application written with Struts, but I can't show you it because it's an Intranet application. I can tell you for a fact that we have greater than one Struts based applications here and our in-house architecture group has even approved it for on-going use.
I think that the "Struts inside" approach will continue for a while, because many customer facing websites are written by the PHP and Perl CGI crowd, while the Intranet/Internal applications are more often written by the Java/J2EE folks, who have a tendency to like Struts. (And buy books :-)
Try the following link for a list of sites and companies who are known to use Struts:
http://simonpeter.com/techie/java/struts/sites.html
This is a list composed from reports by folks on this very list. So unless you do not believe your fellow Struts users, then this should be a reasonably correct list.

Hi Ted,
sorry that i do not agree with you. I know very well which books there are written about struts, as i read them all, i thin (at least that ones in english). Furthermore i did develop some applications using struts myself in different projects, some of them not so small (one about 10000 man-days). So you address the wrong person with your mail. still i think it is not the worst think writing that it is in fact in use in very big applications, because i know that there are still a lot of decision-makers around that do not trust OpenSource products in their productive environments.
Anyway, maybe i was not really clear in my last mail, this is just one theme of the article (in fact, it is not the most important one), and i thought it would be a good idea to refer to a link with a list of applications. Maybe you will happen to read the article, than I am looking forward to hear your fair comment on it. ;o)
Regards Axel

LOL. :)
Yes, over the last two years at least nineteen different publishers each decided to publish books about Struts, surely selling over a hundred thousand copies combined -- but no one is actually using it in production. :)
You might as well ask whether the moon is really made of green cheese :)
Once upon a time, we had a list of thirty or so public applications, but it was too much work to maintain, and we had long since past the point where we had something to prove.
I've met with teams for some of the the largest corporations in world, who I know for a fact are using Struts in production. Am I going to names names here. No. Why? Because it's a security issue for anyone to reveal what platform they are using. The bigger the site, the bigger the issue.
I can tell you that I just got back from a users group meeting in Boston. The New England JUG is the second largest in the world (behind Tokyo). The topic was Struts, and it was standing room only. When Iyone raised their hands. People tell me all the time that Struts is still the platform of choice for major corporations. I've also heard from more than one source that it's a favorite among Department of Defense contractors. The lifecycles for a DoD contracts are very long, and these contractors won't be taking Struts out of production any time soon.
The article sounds like "yellow" journalism to me -- designed for "shock" value only.

Hi all,
there will be an article in a german magazine in the near future which covers the theme: "Is struts really in use in real applications".
To prove that it is indeed in usage in more than one running project, i wrote a topic in a struts user forum (which runs on my server and is available for general usage, so feel free to use it for discussion, best practises and so on).
If you developed or know an application using struts as mvc framework (also if just in parts) please feel free to enter a reply there with a short description of the application and as possible an URL.
The URL of the topic is: http://www.objectstore.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5#5
Regards Axel Stahlhut
PS: If somebody knows a URL with al list of applications, please send them to me.
