Struts = Legacy Struts 1.2.x - Action based architecture
Struts Shale = Framework that leans on JSF and has a compatability
layer written so it can support 1.x Struts apps
This is not correct. Struts Shale does not have a compatibility
layer for Struts 1.x apps. There is struts-faces, a library which
provides some support for using Java Server Faces with Struts 1.x
apps. There is Struts Ti, a framework which will probably provide
some kind of compatibility layer with Struts 1.x apps.
>From a marketing perspective it's a bit untidy. It would be better if
Shale were it's own project, not tied to the Struts name and Struts core
was allowed to ride off into the Sunset. This would be less confusing to
the business decision maker, I believe.
Hm. Is it untidy that the Apache Software foundation has at least
three web application frameworks? Should they be untethered from the
Apache name and allowed to ride off... ? For that matter, why does
Apache clutter itself with anything other than the original httpd?
Decision makers out there are trying to figure out what to do about
Microsoft Vista, or that Apple is releasing Intel-based Macs next
year; there's always something. Decision makers can choose to sit
and wait for things to clear up, or they can make their best educated
decision about something now. For that matter, a decision maker
could decide to commit development resources to an open source
project, so as to have some control over its direction, and thus
improve their ability to be confident in the decisions they have made.
