[John Cavacas] I have to disagree with that statement after reading the book and being somewhat familiar with the framework and solutions that Rod presents. I believe that Rod never makes that assumption, on the contrary. > IMHO, what's missing is a decent Domain Layer framework that can hook up > with other presentation layer frameworks like Struts or Tapestry or > Maverick or WebWorks, or whatever you've brewed in house.

[John Cavacas] I don't want to sound that I am preaching for Rod's methods and framework, but the framework he came up with does seem to solve (to an extent) this and other problems. It's worth a look at especially since it has gone open source and there is the beginning of active development on the project.
Struts is great for what it does, and Rods Spring Framework also seems great at what it does. There are also flaws in both Struts and Spring. But that's the beauty and simplicity of all of this. If you don't like something, don't use it. Use something else or do your own thing.
