Hi, What attracted me to Stripes was the comparison on the Stripes Site. Having now used Stripes for +-18 months, everything said is 100% TRUE. If I can help it I will NEVER use struts again. I have coupled Stripes / Spring 2+ / Hibernate 3+ and now find I can do simple CRUD functions in +- 2 hours. In fact the longest part of the process now is actually getting the JSP to look decent. As for Stripes speeding up the process I would estimate that it is 50% - 70% faster than Struts. The main contributers to this are: 1. No configuration, developers don't stamp on each other fighting for XML files. 2. Validation is as simple as it gets. 3. Stripes is SIMPLE, it is easy to learn and does not get in the way like struts does. 4. Stripes is extendable, if you need it you can build it. Try doing that with Struts! I suggest you give your developers a 1 to 2 hour lesson on Stripes then let them loose for a week to play with it. Then listen to them, they will tell you the answer. Stripes is the way to go.
