Re: Converting STRUTS-based application to Java or EGL

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Struts IS a JSP/Java based web framework so, you are already there in 
some respects.  You might get better responses on the WEB400 or JAVA400 
forums here at Midrange but it sounds like you don't need conversion as 
much as expertise.

My only "complaint" about Struts was that there is a ton of "hidden" 
configuration in the framework particularly in Struts 1.xx.  It was 
always difficult for me to figure what action triggered what action 
triggered what action etc.  I don't write applications that use Struts 
myself but I have had to maintain quite a bit of Struts based code over 
the past couple of years.

Not sure what you would want to convert to.  Struts 2.xx is pretty 
current stuff although other frameworks are easier to develop in and 
maintain (IMHO).
