Definitely. I'll post it by tonight or tomorrow. It is basically an Model 2
framework. Instead of shoving in all the code in an action servlet, tasks
are delegated to small, self-contained filters. For example, a filter would
transform the request data into an XML DOM, a second one would do schema
validation for type checking or what ever validation, another one would do
request delegation etc. Lot of things work similar to Struts. But instead of
Action form bean, an XML node is passed around. This relieves you of the
need for creating a plethora of form bean classes to match your different
screens. Instead of loading the action servlet at start up, config
initialization is done using application life cycle event listeners. The
HTML tags define an extra attribute called path that identifies the node
that contains the data for the control. There are also tags similar in
functionality to the XSLT valueOf, forEach etc. It is not extensive as
Struts in areas like internationalization, digesters etc. But I don't think
it will be a big problem in adding all those things. It is even possible to
use the Struts tags directly.

Any chance you'd want to share these rewritten tags?
