thanks for your been there done that insight. Struts 2 definitely is much more sane and enterprise level compared to grails. However, sometimes it is disappointing to know that in struts out-of-the-box we cant even return a result type of a simple string that does not go to a different page. Say, I just want to stream out a string and not go to a completly different page (this is helpfull for Ajax). So I end up making a whole new .jsp page that just has <s:property value="something"/> in it ...
I will give grails a fair try. On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 12:10 AM, David C.
