I don't know yet which project are you talking about, but why haven't you decided to migrate to JSF 2.0 or Spring MVC, instead of staying with Struts?
My needs are mostly to create apps faster, specially in the GUI. The forms, the validation, the old basic HTML... I spend too much time doing that, and I remember how fast was using a RAD as Powerbuilder. It must be a better way to program than Using the 2004 Struts version. So what I'm most interested in, is the presentation. I did my research on JSF and I think it is the substitution of Struts, I mean if you have to create start a new project from scratch, there is no point in choosing Struts if JSF already exists. I was just about to migrate, but then Spring appeared and I postponed the issue, not deciding which way to follow (JSF or Spring MVC). I would also get a lot of benefits from the other Spring modules, such as the transactions, the DBMS access, etc. I know I'm spending time reinventing the weel, creating my own objects while Spring has a lot of functionality ready to use. I would like to know what Mark Thomas thinks about this, being a person involved with Spring Source.
