Is it worth using Struts for a static site that is CMS
Driven ? I can think of two options:
Yes.
1. Fetching the data from database into Action forms
and then building the page using Struts HTML taglibs.
:Can be done, but I doubt that Struts HTML is powerful
enough to handle minute details of the HTML page
eg:tool tips, sections, javascripts
You can do those things with or without Struts.
You don't have to use the struts taglibs if you don't want to. It makes a lot of things easier. You certtainly don't use the Struts taglibs without a lot of supporting html.
2. Give away Struts and go for simple JSP-Bean based
architecture. JSP, Bean:Presentation[Controller will
be driven from database], Business classes to interact
with database:Modal, Database:MYSQL
Nah.... if you think thats viable you don't have a lot of experience
with Struts or JSP/Servlet development.
I respectfully disagree with this (unless you guys are talking about some other specific product or framework that I'm not recognizing) so I thought you should hear another opinion. I use Struts and like it, and would even go so far as to say it's the first thing I would consider in many situations, but I wouldn't tell you that you can't build a good Web app without it (or any other framework for that matter). I have built some nice Web applications that didn't use any controller framework (other than my own) or even any tags or any JavaScript for that matter.
