For applications you are about to start on, if it is your intent to use the Struts HTML tags for your view tier, you should review that decision in the light of the developments of the last few months, since the JSF spec went final, to say nothing of the availability of alternative view tier technologies (XML, Velocity, ...) that work with Struts as well. If these tags work for you, that's fine ... but be aware that you are buying in to a mature technology that is unlikely to change much in the future.
Craig, can you elaborate on this a bit more? I'm confused because if you went with a different front end presentation other than JSP and Struts HTML form tags, why would it matter that you chose Struts HTML tags for the JSP portion? If you later chose an XML/XSLT or Velocity (yuk:)solution for your view you'd end up scrapping the JSPs altogether anyway so why would it matter what tags you used to build the JSPs that you would be replacing? Or are you basically saying to not even bothr using JSPs for a front end view? (I've seen good velocity templates and I'll take a *clean* JSP using JSTL and tags over Velocity any day of the week). Thanks for your thoughts and all your work on Struts, JSF, Tomcat, etc.
