So this would allow a user to write convert a S1 action over to S2, but
keep the JSP exactly the same? Or would it just allow S1 tags to be used in
S2? WW already supports using JSTL tags out-of-the-box--I'm not sure
you wouldn't need anything special to support s1 tag. (I haven't worked
with S1 in 4 years) Spring MVC tags are nothing to brag about. :)
I think one of the truly great benefits of WW/Struts 2 tags is how easy
they are to customize. We recently went from a home grown web framework
to WW and converting the JSP was a pretty straightforward process. Once
you did one, the others were pretty much the same process. Getting the
intercepters right and writing the actions was the part that required
some true development effort. We took the approach of keeping our old
web framework servlet running and adding the WW servlet to the existing
framework. This was a decent solution to the migration issue. (That
solution didn't cross my mind when I wrote about my Spring MVC idea)
Based on that, I'm not sure how many people would really use the Spring
MVC plugin. (or the struts 1 plugin) Does anyone disagree with me? :)

A related idea might be S1 or Spring MVC tag plugins that exposed
another tag API but utilized the valuestack and such under the hood.
I don't have any S1 applications that I need to migrate, so this isn't
something that would interest me personally, but I'm sure such a thing
would help a great many people.
The neat thing about plugins is that we already have a registry,
making it easy for anyone to create and share a plugin.

Has anyone given any thought to a Spring MVC plugin--kind of like the
Struts 1.x integration. I know the Spring MVC community isn't huge, but
giving them a migration path might win over some converts. (I might
look into it at some point) I'm just curious if other people thought
this would be a useful plugin or not worth the effort.
