Hi Ryan, Most of the frameworks available are very similar to Struts. The only difference is that they tie you into the specific app server in most cases. Also as they are only used by a subset of developers that use the specific app server their user base and hence experience base will be much smaller. You will find it harder to get answers to problems.
Also you may not have access to the source. The vendor will certainly not be as responsive as the Struts team to introducing requested features and their development team will be much smaller than the Struts team (as its open source any of us can contribute extensions, ala Struts Menu, Struts Validator, etc..).

Are there frameworks available in other commercial Java Web Servers like Web Sphere, iPlanet, JRun, etc. . If so why should somebody use struts framework rather than using the Web Server's native framework? . Are there people who are using struts with commercial Java Web Server like Web Sphere, iPlanet, JRun, etc. Thanks in advance Ryan Norman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
