I see Peter has already replied, but just to add a few quick thoughts to his
reply:

Depends on the Job at hand - as Peter says, "different" is a better word for
sure. Struts concentrates on specific areas of the application development
process, whereas Expresso adds capabilities for database-stored security,
robust relational/object mapping, background job handling and scheduling,
self-tests, log4j integration, and so forth. Struts is a perfect project for
us to integrate with, as the two frameworks we're parallel in design
techniques in the area of UI and presentation, yet with not much overlap.

There's also a collection of other OSS projects built with Expresso that
might be useful to you right away, including eForum (discussion forums),
ePoll (voting/polling), and eSearch (flexible search engine). The UI for
each of those is now Struts-based.

>Expresso has a framework for EJB right?

Not *quite* yet - but very close indeed. Work is actively underway for this.
