Right now I am using Struts2, Spring, and Hibernate. Although the Spring JdbcTemplate is looking better all the time.
I follow this: Action --> Service --> Dao Yes it is more code, but the benefits are in testibility, componentization, and maintenance. I even have this: Action --> Service --> JSP so that I can wrap my business objects instead of adding formatting functionality, etc directly to my nice b.o. pojos. That's just how I do it. > Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 07:42:50 -0600 > Subject: Struts 2 Architecture - Best Practices... > From: burtonrho...@gmail.com > To: user@struts.apache.org > > I am curious to know what structure many of you use to organize and > separate your struts apps.
