  4) How it will be useful/ advantage to existing Struts framework
  5) What kind of programming language requried for Shale framework

Your best bet for more information is the Shale web site:

    http://struts.apache.org/struts-shale/

Brief answers to your questions follow.

  I have few questions .

Shale shares the Struts *community*, but it does not share any code with
Struts 1.x.

  2) How it works


Shale assumes that JavaServer Faces already exists, and adds value by
improving functionality and ease of use.

  3) Is part of Struts or differ


Part of the community, but a different software package.

  4) How it will be useful/ advantage to existing Struts framework


If you want to use JSF with an existing Struts app, your best bet would be
to start from the Struts-Faces integration library instead:

    http://struts.apache.org/struts-faces/

Using Shale would be an option for new development where you wanted to
leverage JSF.

  5) What kind of programming language requried for Shale framework


Java, of course :-)

  6) What i can do with Shale framework.


Build web applications using Java and JSF technology.

  7) Is Shale framework going to compete with other frameworks like JSF,
> which is component oriented architecture


Shale *requires* JSF and extends it with additional ease of use
capabilities, plus features that users of Struts 1.x are familiar with, such
as Tiles and Commons Validator integration.

  may be my question are repeated but help me out in clearing this confusion

I'd suggest you start by reading the documentation - there's quite a bit of
it - and come back (to the User list, not the Dev list) if you still have
questions after that. See:

http://struts.apache.org/struts-shale/index.html

I would suggest that you read the notes that Rod Johnson, the creator
of Spring, on Shale for starters.  Shale should be called "Huckster".
