I have not heard good things about Spring MVC. What alternate MVC frameworks would you strongly recommend based on your experience/knowledge, while still using Spring for IoC and other stuff.

Shireesh, two things:
1) could you please edit your display name so that it contains both a first name and a last name (as required by our naming policy)
2) you better start a new thread in this forum for your questions -- the "welcome" thread is generally reserved for welcoming the authors and any posts in this thread will be ignored for the drawing.

Thanks.

Oh, and welcome Rob and Jan!

Hi all! I apologise for the late posting - I didn't know this thread was active until about 20 minutes ago.

Hi all - apologies again. After my first post last night I couldn't connect again .

Shireesh, I'm interested to know what you have heard about Spring MVC. As an experienced Struts developer I can assure you that Spring is much more comprehensive than Struts and once you get used to it, it is very easy to use.
