Hi, We've been used Struts since 2001 and developed lots of extensions - ActionMapping, LookupDispatchAction, ExceptionHandler, RequestProcessor, Validator, DynaFormBean, tag-files, etc. - along these years. Now we have productivity and a quite stable environment...thanks to the community and Craig!...
But after a few months studying JSF and also Laszlo (http://www.laszlosystems.com) as an option for the View Layer - we clearly saw that JSF is the same old "high level RAD+Html" approach that we had in old App Server such as SilverStream ("easier to solve the easiest problems and harder to solve the hard ones"). And that it doesn't produce any new value for our customers at this moment... The main reason to migrate would be to stay with Sun and the J2EE pattern, but now that we already know the J2EE "overenginnering" and "ultimate flexibility" problems (cases such as JDO and EJB)...is this enough? In our experience, the cinematic Laszlo approach was killer - specially if we have Struts in the Control Layer! No question about it... Is there anyone with the same experience?

Why all the hoopla about the future IS JSF?" I didn't ask that, he did :) _I_ said that this whole thing started because Craig said that the Struts HTML tags are legacy. Who woulda thunk it...
