What is it that bugs you the most about development with Struts?
Trying to work with the struts-config.xml without a dedicated editor. I have a small, three actions, project that I'm tinkering with and I figured that it was small enough that I didn't need to worry and I could just edit struts-config.xml using a text editor. Ouch.
Dedicated editors are a bane for me. The fact that they automatically format the whole file according to their xml whitespace, indenting and new line rules means that every line can change when a 2nd developer edits the file, which really stuffs up any useful CVS functionality.
My biggest issue with struts is the large number of obtuse servlet exceptions or plain empty pages that newbies can cause by doing something wrong.
Linked to that is the large amount of definitions in xml where the correctness is uncheckable until runtime. One silly typo and I have to compile, deploy, restart and navigate into the app to check it works. Perhaps there's some junit testing I should be doing to check it all in one click, but I haven't worked it out yet.
