It's been quiet lately so I thought I'd throw something out there. If you could give 1000 hours to the Struts 2 project, what would you do? I would like to it become the SOA framework of choice through : - SEO-friendly URLs become the default and users never have to think about it again; -

+1 in fact, i'd write a new taglibrary with just lightweight support for form properties, conversion, and formatting. No HTML, no Ajax, no OGNL, no value stack. Then I'd do a session of performance testing to see what the improvement was (did somebody else suggest that?). Antonio Petrelli
