I agree, desktop applications are sometimes a requirement or just an
improvement over a browser based application.
For example: compare maps.google.com to google earth. :-)
What I still don't understand is why you would include any part of
struts with a desktop application. :-)
There are two reasons:
1) An important part of the application was already built around the
struts solution (indeed for a centralized web solution).
2) Since there is more than 20 pages that have to be carefully organized
and displayed, I am afraid that things get complicated in the middle of
porting the struts solution to a non-struts solution.

Why limit users to downloading a clumsy desktop app when a browser based
solution would run leaner and capture a much wider audience?
A desktop application can also be browser based. A typical example is
Google Desktop search. So, I guess you meant a centralized web based
application. Well, considering the same example of desktop search, you
see that there are cases where desktop applications still make sense.

Subject: Re: Struts in Desktop Application
For a desktop app?
Struts makes very little sense in that environment. If you layer your
application well (Data Access -> Business Logic -> View), struts would
just get in the way of a desktop application.

Hi *,
Please help me in taking this decision. I am leading the development
team of a desktop application. We are considering the eventuality of
having our application running in Jetty and based on Struts.
We are, however afraid of the size that the final application will get.
My question is, therefore: do I really need all of the libraries and
files of the Struts distribution (struts/lib)? What library (or file)
can I omit and what is essential?
Thanks for your support,
Gregoire.
