Joe,

> Struts support isn't extra cost on any other platform that I know of.

You can still do Struts.  They just provide some special tooling like a 
graphical diagrammer.  Frankly, I wish I could figure out how to uninstall 
it because about all it does right now is report a lot of non-existing 
errors and I do not find the graphical diagrammer very compelling.

There is also a free plugin called EasyStruts that provides equivalent 
functionality.  So if you wanted something like this, you could still 
install it.

> Tomcat and WAS Test Environments.

I hope this is not true, I am sure there is at least a WAS Express 
environment.  If it is true, then we should probably complain to Software 
Group in Raleigh because it sounds like they are overly dumbing down WSSD 
and WDSC is paying the price.

I was using a version of WSSD a while ago, it included WAS Express and I 
think it even had the Struts tooling.  I cannot remember if it had the 
Tomcat environment.  I am not too worried about the latter because I know 
there are some good free plugins that provide that feature.  So hopefully, 
this stuff will all be in WDSC.  There has to be some kind of WAS 
Environment or you could not run the WebFacing stuff.
