Well here is a side thought, if you are worried about the minimal performance implications of using reflection with form beans how do you look at the performance hit from using a more heavyweight servlet based solution as compared to POJO struts actions where this is only 1 servlet per application?

Lastly, to hear that STRUTS makes web development easier and faster is just wrong in my opinion.
You still have to understand the same concepts, plan for the same scenarios and do the same exact work.
As stated before, it's just the tool to implement the design. If you take an honest look at what is actually done by the developer, it's all the same work. Wrap it in any 'framework' you want, it's all the same.
Just a buzzword

Form handling, error reporting and tiles.
Forms are about the most basic concept around. Tell me how a very basic concept is made so much easier by using the STRUTS model.
Error reporting again is something that I am not too familiar with how it's done in STRUTS (why comment on something you are not familiar with?), but again it is something that has been a requirement long before web apps and it will be long after. Maybe this is nice if you don't have an idea of how to do this. (been there done that, why do it again, its part of the framework)
However, if you are someone who is not sure how to handle errors, you probably should not be the person selecting the 'framework' for your project.
Tiles are very much like the JSTL import tag. It's not a concept unique to STRUTS, STURTS is just the only API to call it 'Tiles'. The current system I am working on has several screens that will be common to many applications (select a state or a user).
There are ALWAYS more ways to do the same thing. STRUTS is not special, it's not unique. J2EE 'blueprints' and other 'frameworks' are not special or unique either. They all provide 98% of the same stuff, regardless of what it is called or what the interface looks like. In the end, it's the same functionality. As stated by Eric above, it's not really about the framework when it comes down to it, it's just a small tool in the overall picture.

BTW Generally I feel personal attacks in a technical discussion implies a lack of professional ethics. This seems to be a common argument with some. Basically, it seems you are saying "if you don't agree with me you are stupid". If you think I am stupid then why respond at all.

My comment was in no way a personal attack.
