Re: Struts

You keep saying that, but the facts don't bear out what you're trying to say.  
The "bleeding edge" has no relevence in IBM's technology selection.  Struts 1.1 
has been supported since WDSC 5 rolled out Struts 1.1 beta support.  SDO and 
JSF first appeared in WSAD 5.1, when both were either pre-release or fresh off 
the vine.  The fair thing to say is that IBM picks what it wants to support.

As far as Struts' relevence, Monster shows more than 1000 job postings for 
Struts in the last 30 days.  If it's out of date, it's out of date like RPG 
(although RPG only had 348 job postings in the last 30 days) and not like OS/2.

If you want to shun WDSC's support, the two books below are pretty
thorough.

In general WDSC is not a bleeding-edge Open Source development tool.  If you
want that, I guess you can use MyEclipse (unless you want to use Cocoon or
Tapestry or Velocity or PHP or Ruby, in which case you need another
plug-in).

More importantly, as Vadim points out Struts is an out of date technology.
If I had the choice, I'd dump Struts before I dumped WDSC.
