Re: Struts

From: Dean, Robert

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.

That was in response to your complaint that WDSC doesn't support " (more
current version of Struts and JSF, Hibernate, Spring, etc)".  Your words,
not mine.

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 does everybody.  MyEclipse doesn't support Cocoon or Tapestry.  What's
your point?

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  If it's out of date, it's out of date like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.

Struts is dead, but like Keith Richards it keeps moving on sheer momentum.
But if you missed it, the Shale announcement was Struts' eulogy.
