[ajug-members] Entry Level Java Jobs

[Bill Siggelkow]

Struts is much more concrete than EJB. Struts is a Java-based framework,
built on top of Servlets and JavaServer Pages, for building web
applications. In technology terms I would Struts is mature -- there are
other newer Java-based technologies for doing this such as Spring and
WebWork2. In my opinion, Struts has become mainstream with corporate IT
(Java-shops at least) and is an important technology to understand.
