Craig McClanahan comments on the future of Struts

Craig McClanahan, one of the main developers of the Struts framework, recently commented on the upcoming future releases of Struts and how Struts may be used in conjunction with, rather than being replaced by Java Server Faces.

He mentioned that the existing HTML tags are likely to be replaced by JSF equivalents and that there is unlikely to be any continued development on these Tag Libs. However, development on the rest of the framework will continue, with the addition of an upcoming Struts/JSF integration package in the pipeline.
