Struts Ti is a simplified Model 2 framework for developing webapps which allows the developer better access to the underlying servlet/portlet environment. It serves a niche of web applications that don.t want the additional complexity of server-side components and verbose configuration, yet want the structure and controller features of a modern web framework. Struts Ti builds on the directions of Struts 1.x, yet re-implements the framework to provide a clean slate for the next generation of Struts Ti. It aims to combine the simplicity of Ruby on Rails and NanoWeb, the refinement of WebWork 2, the tool-friendly authoring of Beehive, and the history of Struts 1.x.
