Re: Which web application framework? aka Why not Struts?

I am only looking at it so far but there is a huge community of Spring 
users now.

One thing we want for one application is nested Transactions (the ability 
to do a partial rollback of database/GUI state) and Spring supports that 
when used with a JDBC driver that supports savepoints (most do now).

Nothing else in sight supports nested transactions - not JTA, not anything.

Of course, the major point in favor of Spring is its declarative capabilities.

It can be used for standalone apps as well as web apps.

BEA is certifying Spring.  I hope that IBM does the same thing.

The book Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development, by Rod Johnson is 
now being sworn upon as a bible by many (although I have not read it yet)......
