Re: Struts

Struts is dead, but like Keith Richards it keeps moving on sheer

momentum.

i'm not that deep into the whole web dev thing but here are some facts
from the struts roadmap (http://struts.apache.org/roadmap.html)

<excerpt>
What about Ti? What about WebWork?

    Struts Ti (short for Titanium) was a codename for Struts 2. In late
November 2005, the Ti proposal was amended to include a merger with Open
Symphony WebWork. Pursuant to this plan, WebWork 2.2 was donated to the
ASF in March 2006, and the active WebWork committers joined the Apache
Struts Project. The WebWork codebase was brought into the ASF through
the Apache Incubator. The donated codebase is now part of the Apache
Struts Project.

    WebWork started as a Struts Revolution. Over the years, it has
evolved into a superb action-based framework that retains many Struts 1
paradigms.

    People who have worked with both Struts 1 and WebWork 2 tend to
agree that it is a logical candidate for Struts 2. If you looked at the
Struts 1 roadmap and the WebWork 2 feature set, you'd see that WebWork
has already does most of what we had wanted the Struts framework to do.
If we had finished the original Struts 1 roadmap as written, Struts 1
would have ended up being a WebWork 2 workalike. Rather than reinvent
the wheel, Ti became a proposal to put the WebWork wheel back on the
Struts axle.

    At this point, the Ti codename has been dropped, and we are
referring to the donated codebase as Struts 2.
