We've only got a few replies so far.  Surely there must be
other interesting projects using Struts ?  Please let us know, thanks.

Nick,

I have been using Struts to develop our companies bread and butter
application on the web.  Personally, I have found the product extremely
sound and well thought out from a design perspective.

The biggest plus is that it is standards based.  We currently run Tomcat
3.2.1 but that is only for convience.  We have talked about having an
outside service host the application therefore standards based is a big plus
for us.

I hope this helps you.

Re: Connection Pool

Turbine and Struts both have connection pool implementations.

Struts can actually use any connection pool that implements
javax.sql.DataSource -- it only defaults to its own.  The Turbine
connection pool, unfortunately, is not useful for this because it does not
implement the DataSource interface.  However, several other connection
pool implementations available on the web are suitable.

There is an ongoing discussion about creating a "Commons" project within
the Jakarta framework to create and maintain shareable implementations of
components like this -- and a connection pool is the primary example of
the kind of code we all want to be able to share.  Once the commons
project is started, the physical source code for the connection pool
Struts uses will move to the Commons project, but this move will have
little or no impact on Struts applications (you'll need a separate JAR
file, but that's easy to deal with).

Where is the connection pool ?
in tomcat, in turbine or in strut ?
