The road ahead for Struts

A proposal for the plans of Struts 2.x has been published here.
This looks really good. One of the most important changes will probably be better testability and the state management features. As noted in the proposal this will probably require some serious investigation, but supporting dialog sequences in multiple windows for each user will be a very welcome feature. The Struts flow plugin might provide some of these features today.

I know I have criticized some of the features of Struts on this blog, but it really is an excellent tool. And it holds up remarkably well considering the long (in internet time) timespan since it’s inception.

Update: Matt Raible chips in on his views to here. He has a lot of experience with web development and I always value his opinions.
