I guess I am a little lost on this comment. There are hundreds / thousands of complex Java sites available on the internet. Examples include US Airways Reservation system, EBay, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, CitiBank, etc. All of these public sites support very large user bases.

PHP / (origional) JSP are the same stuff really. Scripted web page. Main difference is php not OO (well, the api isnt), and php doesnt require any declarations/typing - which makes it nicer for less able programmers. But the big difference is server requirements. JSP uses a lot more server

Sorry for the OT postings. My point was that you cant compare usage of PHP with Struts. The number of Struts sites (or even java sites) will never overtake the number of PHP sites for the reasons i pointed out (although... zend are doing their best to kill off php by trying to move it into the

It is interesting to see PHP that has simple programming models defeat Java in real applications. This leads to a question: Do Java best programming models and frameworks conter-productive for real applications and sites? The new frameworks, other than struts, I like Spring. I would not use JSF

JSF has been there for a while. We have to see how it does in real applications. EJB has been there for many years, but its complexity of configuration (at least before mature tools were developed) kept many J2EE projects expensive and over budgets (bad ROI examples). Thus we have so many
