| | Apache announces new sub-project of Struts: Shale |
 | | Current Struts approach, where "the setup logic and processing logic end up in two different Actions" (which, by the way, is not advertised as a standard practice on Apache web-site) is far more flexible and allows to separate input from the output and to create truly stateless views. |
 | | The basic concept of Struts of having the Controller to accept input, and the possibility to respond with different Views, is its best asset.MS had to convert VB programmers which are used to drop the control on the form and to link the onChange event with some business code. |
 | | Struts was the best approach to web design when it came out, others (just like in web design) have since built off those ideas and figured out what works and what doesn't for them. |
