Hi Dudley, Check out the docs on the Wiki (http://wiki.opensymphony.com), especially
http://wiki.opensymphony.com/space/Migrating+from+Struts+1.0+to+WebWork+ 2 - migrating from Struts to WebWork2 And the article I just posted: http://wiki.opensymphony.com/space/Writeup+of+Mike%27s+Talk+at+TSS+on+We bWork2 which is a general overview of WebWork2. For your specific questions, WebWork is better than Struts because it is a simpler framework, with less ties to the web and in genral less useless contracts for your code to implement. Being less coupled makes things easier to test, which is always better. With WebWork2, we've added some very powerful features. Check the docs I listed for the overview. For the view, you can use Velocity as well as JSP, FreeMarker, JasperReports, and XML/XSLT. Velocity and JSP are the most common, and the best supported, but all are first class citizens in WW, unlike Stuts where anything but JSP is difficult.
