What about including a Dynamic rules-based workflow engine? One like Drools? This is great because it abstracts a lot of the operational control of the application into the realm of the business person. It seems to me that IoC is a good start, but following up with a business rules based control system would greatly benefit a lot of companies. When the rules of the business changed, they could alter the operation of the web application without having to push their changes and requirements through the developers.
This implies creating management tools, which breaches the question: can we put JMX management hooks into Struts 2.0 so that all the different components and their configurations can be managed at runtime? -- N.
