There is no more form bean with this, just Action class together with getters and setters. Setting up is also a breeze in Struts 2, you can either use annotations or the old xml. The only downside ive seen so far is there are soo few tutorials and samples than Struts 1. I really dont know why. :( Btw, ive made a sampe war, exhibiting Struts 2 + Json. Hope this helps: http://stikiflem.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/struts-2-json-sample/ @nitinpai – Struts 2 is much more simpler and cleaner than Struts 1, in my opinion.

I havent tried it yet, but I have heard that it has improved a lot and taken a bit of functionalities from webwork. What do you guys think about Struts 2.

Yep. That’s actually true for many frameworks, including Apache Wicket. But you typically don’t have to deal with that servlet directly with such frameworks.

SpringMVC (an optional subproject of spring) not nearly as widely. I use Spring, but not SpringMVC (and thank god not Struts either). Spring is widely used.

But I am not saying that Struts is out of the way. It is probably the most stable framework which has been used over many years but Spring is being used since it does not put many dependencies as Struts does and that it also has components spanning over all the tiers in an application. Maybe thats the reason for its success. Could you provide me your input on your statement that Spring is not widely used and which frameworks apart from Struts/ Spring are currently used for the web?

Also, I wonder why you say Spring is one of the most widely used web frameworks in the world. Spring is widely used as an IOC container, but the web framework part of it is optional, and from what I figure from online discussions and personal experience not nearly as popular as other web frameworks.
