Annotation in struts 2 in addition to XML configurations make it easy for configuration. Struts tag which are used in JSP are very convenient, and powerful for front-end display. Struts 2 have many plugins which we find useful such as struts ajax plugin, struts jquery plugin such as jstree. Struts also support FTL velocity templates in addition to regular JSP, and we use these templates for sending emails. There are so many third party plugins that are available for struts which makes it easier to add certain enhancements to the system. Simplicity is another great feature of struts as it supports POJO for action forms, and makes testing easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One big disadvantage of struts 2 was its complete overhaul from struts 1. We used to use struts 1 and migrating to struts 2 required huge changes. We sometimes find it difficult to find documentation of the struts tags, and classes, and every class, and method could have been documented. Security by obscurity sometimes might cause issues, such as a recent bug in struts allowing hackers to expose lots of data, even though the company release the fix quickly. Sometimes, we have to blindly accept what struts does inside its libraries without full control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
