I'm sorry, maybe I was unclear. I am not challenging the usefulness of Struts, I am well aware of the vast amount of functionality that the framework encompasses. I am currently using Struts as a core part of the MVC approach in my enterprise application. My question is about the scalability of Struts Action classes.
It is my understanding that a Servlet engine will create new instances/threads of a Servlet as needed (similar to stateless session beans), and hence is very scalable for multiple concurrent requests. My understanding is that an Action class, on the other hand, is stored as an instance variable. The question is this: if I have a class that performs a massive amount of business processes (inclusive of attaching to multiple EJB's), will the multiple concurrent requests end up queued in a wait status until each one is finished processing, or is there a multiple instance/thread approach to Action classes (similar to a Servlet engine with Servlets)? The enterprise application I'm working on isn't for some website, but a truly web-deployed enterprise app which must scale to thousands of concurrent users with millions of records in the DB. Thus, performance is a HUGE concern (e.g., a wait of 500 miliseconds is about the max permitted).
