Struts advantages, Struts alternatives

My employer needs to decide if we should choose Struts 
as the standard Web/MVC framework for our company.

Jakarta Struts
==============

 http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/

Struts advantages:
==================

1) large user base
2) momentum
3) mindshare
4) has an active development team
5) is a Jakarta project
6) good documentation


Alternatives to Struts:
=======================


Barracuda

Re: Quick questions re: multiple sub-apps

Posted by Jeff Corliss <je...@yahoo.com>.
um ... let me clarify those paths ...

... you can have, say:
/webapp
/webapp/admin

But can you also have, for example:
/webapp
/webapp/admin
/webapp/admin/basics
/webapp/admin/advanced
etc.?

Due to recent hard to see mapping problems in mystruts-config.xml, it seems I should start makinguse of the multiple sub-apps in 1.1 as part ofconverting from 1.02.Question: are you limited to one level deep on thesub-app?  I know from looking around that you canhave, say:/webapp/webapp/adminBut can you also have, for example:/webapp/webapp/admin/webapp/admin/basics/webapp/admin/advancedetc.?

Re: Struts advantages, Struts alternatives

I'd say you've listed the major players here. Under 6) for Struts you 
might add that even more documentation is coming. There will be several 
books coming out this fall, and others are still being written.

I've been wondering about a good way to compare frameworks. Something 
that occurred to me recently would be to look at how they approach 
various use cases.
