We have just inherited a java program that uses struts. It seems to be
causing problems with validation of the web pages.

Is struts a "code generator" to build html?

Is struts good at that?

Would we be better off without it?

TIA,
Jerry

Why not ask on a forum aimed at J2EE development? You might get more useful
perspectives.

The short answer is I don't know of any. The only one (J2EE) that seems
to be here is one that was moved somewhere else. You have to remember you
are talking to a newbie to these newsgroups.

So where (URL) would be a better place to ask about Struts and its
useability?

Might I suggest:
- http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
- http://struts.apache.org/

This forum is for Eclipse newcomer questions and not general java questions.

Yes, that was want I wanted. The question was the worth of Struts in
eclipse (RAD). We are currently using struts in RAD for a small
application we just inherited. I'm wondering if it is worth it or would
RAD without it be better.

You're confusing development and runtime there. RAD (and Eclipse) are
tools that help you develop software (IDEs), while Struts is a framework
that your application uses. The value of using Struts does not really
have much to do with RAD or Eclipse (although there are plugins that
make it easier to work with Struts-based applications in Eclipse).

As someone said, go to the struts site and read the documentation, or
Google for info on when Struts makes sense. Here's my own take on the
subject, for you to use as a starting point for your research:

Hope this helps,
Eric
