I still love Struts...

I have been a strong advocate of Struts right from the start. I often see developers getting confused over making a choice between struts, velocity, tiles etc.

The point is that "Struts" is a "controller-centric" MVC solution. The "View" and the "Model" parts are pluggable thanks to the plug-in architecture of Struts1.1
Hence is possible to use "Tiles" or Velocity templates inplace of plain JSP for the View in Struts.
Similarly the Model can be used to interact with EJB, JDO, Hibernate...etc.

The various choices available in Server-side Java may seem daunting to a new developer,but with experience we come to realize and appreciate the value of each solution and where it fits best :)
