For me, nothing beats a good tutorial and non-trivial sample application ( with documentation, of course! ). You see, newbies need some sort of pattern or best practise to follow. I think the lack of sample application endorsed by the webwork team that demonstrate the pattern and best practise in using webwork 1.x was one significant issue that holding it back.
Btw, I notice the current xroller code in cvs is using common-sql instead of hibernate, any reason ? I think it will help to promote webwork better if the sample application is build with popular library like hibernate. For e.g, it shall generate more hit if the sample application is eventually link from the hibernate site. Also, may be there should be some sort of poll to find out what area the sample application should cover to help promote the usage of webwork2.
