What do you dislike about Apache Struts?

Struts in itself is not very transparent. With Struts applications, there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than with normal Java based Web applications. As a result, Struts applications are harder to understand and optimize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Struts?

Struts It has many advantages but personally I have liked only a few:

The use of this methodology entails a series of advantages that help us reduce the time required for development and facilitate the maintenance of the web application:

Automatic transport of data entered in the client (JSP) to the controller (Action) using forms (ActionForm).

Automatic transport of data sent by the controller (Action) to the presentation part (JSP) using forms (ActionForm).

Implements the common part to all applications in the Controller part (ActionServlet); the particular part of each application is easily configurable (struts-config.xml).

The separation of the components in layers (MVC) greatly simplifies the development and maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Struts?

In what little I work with this framework, I have been somewhat bothered by the following,

struts-config.xml

Work props by redirecting calls from "views" to the appropriate "model". This is managed through the configuration in the file "struts-config.xml" as it aims to simplify the flow of an application. Instead it can quickly grow large and complicated and is prone to acquire errors as normally edited by hand. Struts-config.xml is difficult to read and understand, which is a shame as dictated by the operation of the application.

MVC

Struts is designed for systems where a screen is filled and an action ensues. This is the heart of MVC. It is not easy to have multiple routes with multiple screens following a workflow.

There is no model

Struts offers little help in business logic coding. This can be seen as a force that provides flexibility. However, it means that Struts is mostly a complicated method of attaching Java servlet web pages. If the need is for security or a standardized method to access databases, Struts does not provide this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
