Jiafan,
I recommend posting that question as a new thread in the Struts forum.

I know that Struts is a widely used Front Contoller framework in the industry for developing serious J2EE applications. People even use a nick name as "SSH", for "Struts, Spring and Hibernate".

Ah. I thought you were asking in general. For the exam, I would definitely not use Struts. This is an exam about the JEE platform, not about other open source libraries. I agree with the original poster that it should be JSP or JSF.

The definition of Struts is as follows:
Struts is an Apache framework allowing a real distinction between the user interface and the business logic of a JEE software.
Struts (JSF similarly) provides a layer above Servlets, which is of course a JEE technology. The requirement mentions requiring JEE 5, I don't know any reasons why Struts2 cannot be used in this assignment. Plus I am not similar with JSF (I learned the basics of JSF to pass the part1 of the exam). Particularly, I haven't used JSF to develop any serious web applications.
Although SCEA is an exam for J2EE architects, Sun (or Oracle) seems mandating people to use JSP or JSF as the presentation layer technologies. But in the real life, I don't know anyone uses JSF to develop the web application. Anyway, if JSF or JSP should be used, I will go and quickly learn JSF and use that in the assignment, which is really an unnatural thing to do.

I have seen many people passing the exam using frameworks like Struts, Spring, Hibernate etc...I myself has used some framework in my assignment. I believe what is required is that one need to specify the reasons of using the framework. Remember Cade has mentioned in his book-merely specifying the framework won't do, one has to specify how you are solving the particular business problem.
