In a nutshell can somebody explain to me what Struts is?

I am working on a J2EE project and have used the JSP/Servlet->Session Manager->Factory->Entity Bean model previously.

Where would i use struts and wha benefits do they have?

Struts is a Model Control View framework used foe develop dynamic sites.
It has an xml file that is the controller where you can config easly your application.
Important features are :
Struts Taglibs with whom you can make easly Forms;
Form Beans: contains form input,where you can validate your input;
Action classes: as a servlet but very simplified, it interact with Form Beans, here you put your own code.

Don't forget the validator framework for simple input validation across the application in one place.

oh yes validator rocks

kerry, another question for you , if you you use validator framework that check for a required parameter, then in your business logic you check again in some points (before db save)if the field is not null?

Bye ( hope not boring you )

I always check to insure Value Object is not null before saving to persistent storage.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
