title: What Are the Benefits of Struts
body: <p>I recently added Struts 1.3 to my application on Tomcat. Here are my observations,</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>MVC. Servlet/JSP does this fine for me, where JSP is the view and servlet is the controller. I don't see any benefit to get the mapping from an XML file since our mapping is very static.</li>
  <li>Action Form. I can see some benefits of action form but not huge.</li>
  <li>Tags. I already uses JSTL and don't see any advantage using Struts tags.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So I am thinking about removing Struts. Anyone can think of any other benefits I might have missed?</p>
