What exactly is your question? :) If you try out WebWork you'll find it's very well suited for the web.

You can use Webwork as a generic action framework, implement > your business APIs as actions, and then re-use those APIs behind any UI technology: web, Swing, AWT, command-line, etc. You've probably heard WebWork > advocates tout this genericity as a major advantage of Webwork over Struts. According to Anders Hovmoeller, writing > <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1513413&forum_id=102 37> to the WebWork mailing list, it is the key advantage of WebWork over > Struts: > Anders Hovmoeller In my opinion, the only really solid argument for using WW over say Struts is that we are not locked up in a > certain environment. I firmly believe that the core parts of XW can easily avoid being tied up to servlets, as WW does now. > But this is opinion is not shared by all WebWorkers. Rickard Oberg <http://freeroller.net/page/rickard>, the original architect of > Webwork (who recently resigned <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1483987&forum_id=102 37> from his position as architect of the > project), does not see it that way. This is from a Jan 13, 2003 post <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1513416&forum_id=102 37> > on the Webwork mailing list: > Rickard Oberg That WebWork turned out to be a generic command pattern was more of an accident then by design. Because of this > genericity WebWork is not optimally designed for doing web work. Some of the "plumbing" needs to be done by actions themselves, instead of having it > be done by the framework. I want to make WebWork/XWork *better* suited for the web, because that is what *I* *need*. I want to get more for less. I > don't give a damn about making it work well in Swing. If it does, then whaddyaknow, cool. If it doesn't, **** happens.
