Hi Leslie, There are other MVC frameworks out there that don't specifically deal with web applications. Struts is generally more suited to web applications (because it was built with that intention) and generally more suited to web applications than other MVC frameworks (excluding other web application oriented frameworks - did all that make sense?). It means picking up another learning curve (mileage may vary according to implementation) but you will get the MVC support in your client that you are looking for. And you will most likely have less of a headache working with a different MVC implementation than you would trying to bend Struts to fit a non-web application. One I know of offhand (but have not actually used myself) is 'Scope' (http://scope.sourceforge.net) which is described as 'A generic Java Model-View-Controller application framework'. It's released under the BSD license and is currently at version 1.0rc3, so hopefully it's pretty evolved. You might do well to search freshmeat.net and sourceforge.net and see what is around. On a commercial level, I am not sure - I am a 'one man band' with small clients with absolutely no sense of budget, so almost everything I do mostly comprises of 'free' software.
