Hi all,
In 2010 we finished a 6 year project of redeveloping our complete
application from COBOL and a bit of Java to a totally Java application using
Struts 1. We have tens of thousands of classes and millions of lines of code.
A new kind of "one off/stand alone" application has been requested by the
business, and the Analyst in charge is looking at different frameworks and even
languages ( ie Grails, Spring MVC ) for completing this project. I asked why
they weren't just going to use our current environment (Struts 1 and Java).
They expressed concerns about how long Java and Struts 1 would remain viable.
I don't happen to share these concerns but am looking for some sort of
confirmation from the development team that my thinking is correct on this
subject and that Struts 1 will be maintained enough to keep it compliant and
relevant.
My feeling is that if anything they should maybe switch to Struts 2 for this
project to remain in the same realm as the rest of our apps.
My question is: As Java SE and EE.... and all things java, continue to
evolve will Struts 1 be maintained in order to remain compliant and usable?
Not expecting any new features or anything but just wondering if we need to be
thinking about a possible end of life type situation for Struts 1.
