Struts will be whatever the community needs it to be. The Struts-JSF taglib Craig put together demonstrates that it's not an either/or proposition. Even today, not every application needs to use Struts. For smaller, simpler applications a Model 1 approach works just fine. With JSF, many moderate-sized applications might not need Struts either. But, in my experience, large, complex applications do need front controllers. Even Microsoft admits that now. The next generation of .NET (Whidbey) will include a front controller out of the box. The core role of Struts has always been to provide missing pieces that help enterprise developers connect the dots. As we discover what JSF is missing, we can help provide those pieces too.
