Interesting; a friend told me that Struts took quite a bit of dissing 
in the smackdown, but maybe setting it up with a title like that 
makes such a result inevitable.  (Craig, he was also quite impressed 
by your Shale presentation ;-)

Anyway, he didn't give me such a clear impression that Struts "won", 
but then, I don't suppose winning is the point.  As I told him, I am 
happy to learn everything I can from other frameworks to make Struts 
better.

Does anyone else have reports from that session, or care to point out 
any lessons we should learn?

Joe
