Are there frameworks for swing-based applications on similarity of

Are there frameworks for swing-based applications on similarity of
struts for web?

That is a trick question isn't it? How could someone possibly even try
to bring something so inherently broken as Struts to a Swing
application? That's like shooting your own foot and hitting the knee
in the process.

For coding Swing I can recommend the JGoodies libraries especially
their Binding stuff is very helpful, though it's not exactly the best
documented thing on earth. There are some tutorials out there, and the
learning curve is pretty high imho, but at the end of the day it's
worth the time. Have a look here.

Given the task of creating a web application that look and feel
like a web application, then Struts does a pretty good job.

Struts is a perfectly adequate framework for a web app, and a
straightforward implementation of the "Model 2" MVC architecture. Its
dangers come from two sources - obsolescent tags relative to the JSTL
and misuse by practitioners who expect Struts to do all the work for
them. In good hands Struts relieves the developer of much of the burden
of stringing together a web app, and is somewhat easier to manage and
configure than some others.

Struts is designed around the traditional web app approach. I like
that approach. But unfortunately users do not. They prefer the
fact client look and feel. And for that JSF is a much better
fit than Struts.
