The situation is NOT inevitable or even desirable.
I would strongly suggest you consider the Spring alternative which is
highly unlikely to change in fundamentals for a very long time.
There is no vision here that is not willy nilly and merely fulfilling
some philosophical opinions about community which come down to
servicing the older committers' daytime jobs and reputatoins, in my
opinion. They say that too, but I will guess that they don't want
anyone else saying it.
Struts is a very unstable community producing inferior code at this
point with political infighting on a "nice" level to steal the name
for the latest and greatest old idea trying to claim to be very, very,
very new.
Dakota, can't you control your trollish instincts? There are far less
contentious ways of saying what you said.
Since you are recommending Spring, can you answer a couple of questions
about it? For instance, is there any outstanding improvement over struts
in the patterns that it offers for say:
* tiles
* breadcrumb menu
* taglibs
* nested beans
* l12n and i18n (prob: dropdowns)
* reference data cache
* dropdown data collections (Id & Label)
* DTOs to view mapping
* validator
* multiple commands on form submit
* cancel button
* post-redirect-get
* exception handling
* displaying messages
* security - Spring is based on Acegi right?
* transaction token
