i personally avoid javascript like the plague. :) i think if you keep
your website design clean and simple, it makes avoiding javascript
easier. i also believe that no matter how much functionality or
business you need to accomplish, you can do so with good web page/site
design, rather than cramming lots of functionality into one page (as to
necessitate the use of javascript). there's always a better design.
take a look at the best websites in the world like yahoo or ebay. i
don't believe they have much javascript, if any. it's all server-side
processing. and they perform very well, because performance is now a
function of network/server architecture, not code.
benefits are:
- no grey hairs lost due to maintaining javascript
- write once, browse anywhere website!

if your website's only selling point is performance then you should
realize that (all things equal) your best performance gains are had by
optimizing and beefing up your network/server architecture.

yes this is possible. you can use struts tags like <bean> <html>
<logic> even jstl <c> tags without ActionForms... why though?
