I'm kind of an old dog (25 years of programming) and I know Struts 1 well,
I can think in Struts 1.
But for future, which one of Struts 2 or Java Server Faces, would be better
to learn?
I know nothing about JSF, except that my favorite editor Netbeans supports
it good. I know nothing about Struts 2, except that it is very different
from Struts 1.
My current job is maintaining and developing a Struts 1 application, and
that goes swell. We don't do Ajax, and I have a feeling that those two
newer frameworks might have Ajax built-in, and a new framework will
eventually be a reality. Maybe not in this project, but in some new.
We do things ant based and not based on any IDE, so the Netbeans support
for JSF may be irrelevant. We use XDoclet now for Struts. I guess XDoclet
does not have any support for either JSF nor Struts 2.
What to learn?
XDoclet is not mandatory, we used that mostly for Ejb 2.x, but now we have
moved to Java 5 and Ejb3, and XDoclet remains only for Struts.
