RE: Struts design flaw -- ActionForms are not true domain objects

It's not coupled to JSP at all. Struts provides taglibs to use in JSPs but does not dictate that you must use JSP as your view layer. This has been demonstrated by people using Velocity, XML, and Web Services with Struts.

i think the argument isn't about it being too servlet-container centric,
rather that it is too tightly coupled to JSP as the view technology.
