LOL. :) Yes, over the last two years at least nineteen different publishers each decided to publish books about Struts, surely selling over a hundred thousand copies combined -- but no one is actually using it in production. :)
You might as well ask whether the moon is really made of green cheese :) Once upon a time, we had a list of thirty or so public applications, but it was too much work to maintain, and we had long since past the point where we had something to prove. I've met with teams for some of the the largest corporations in world, who I know for a fact are using Struts in production. Am I going to names names here. No. Why? Because it's a security issue for anyone to reveal what platform they are using. The bigger the site, the bigger the issue. I can tell you that I just got back from a users group meeting in Boston. The New England JUG is the second largest in the world (behind Tokyo). The topic was Struts, and it was standing room only. When I asked who had Struts applications in production, nearly everyone raised their hands. People tell me all the time that Struts is still the platform of choice for major corporations. I've also heard from more than one source that it's a favorite among Department of Defense contractors. The lifecycles for a DoD contracts are very long, and these contractors won't be taking Struts out of production any time soon. The article sounds like "yellow" journalism to me -- designed for "shock" value only. -Ted.
