Taming Tomcat

Struts: Summary

• Quite hard to get into - steep initial learning curve, easy things are quite hard
  • May make harder things easier to build, but I confess I don't see this
• Plugability is interesting and flexible, making component re-use very easy
• Excellent separation of logic and presentation
• Architecturally rather teutonic and heavyweight
  • Don't really see what is gained by the single ActionServlet
  • The Servlet Container (Tomcat) already does switching based on URL substring match (see servlet-mapping, this morning)
  • Disappointing there isn't a richer action selection vocabulary
