I have looked at Struts, and I have found it to be way overkill for 90% of the applications we write, though I will mostly likely use it on the next appropriate project. What I'm most interested in is a supporting form/input taglib, which will enable me to deploy rapidly developed applications. I am coming from the CGI world, so my ideas may be conflicting with that of the Java world, but right now I deal with forms in an object-based manner with built-in validation. It allows me to very quickly roll out custom applications. Once again, I'm coming from the CGI world, and though I've invested a lot of time in learning Java, my ideas may not coincide with those of other Java developers. The type of business I am involved in is extremely fast-paced roll-it-out-the-door NOW operation, so writing solid web applications and strictly following MVC ideals simply can't be a focus in every day development, though we do occasionally see projects which would effectively utilize a well thought out development framework such as Struts. Hopefully someone can gather something out of my rambling....
