RE: struts practices.

[Kamesh Challa <kamesh@netexpress.net>]

Here're my $0.02 

I've used Struts framework and also used Turbine/Torque and Velocity. 
I'd say Struts with Torque and/or Velocity is a killer design approach (In the 
good sense ;-)). 
Once you "get used" to this pattern of development you'd appreciate the extra 
coding, but, the trade off is the modularity and "stick with the standard" 
approach. Struts preach a clear Model2 approach.

Anyway, just like IDEs it's matter of personal choice. No firing here please ;-)

Here are some pointers:

Turbine: http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/ 
Velocity http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/ 

HTH.....

Thanks and BR,
