Apache Struts 2, otherwise known as Struts Action Framework 2, combines the best of Struts 1.2 + J2SE 5 compliance + WebWork Framework to get an open source lightweight, more agile set of MVC-based API and Web application framework.

InfoQ.com announces the impending general availability release of Struts 2.x and what it means, has, etc.

When Struts 1.x first came on the scene in Java back in the “stone ages”, it only had the closed source JSP/Servlets API to compete with, but now – Struts 2 is vying with several (if not more) actual open source Web-tier development frameworks like MyFaces/Facelets, Grails, Ruby on Rails (JRuby), Wicket, Tapestry, RIFE, Stripes, etc.

Will you adopt/use Struts 2? If not, is Struts passe; what is your Web-tier solution of choice?
