RE: Commercial framework based on struts2.

majority of struts tags support ajax out of the box <s:heaf theme="ajax"/>
would definitely help us out if you could be specific about which tag you want 'ajaxified'

things like page-level security,prerender actions,intelligent navigation and RESTful URLS cannot be accomplished with JSF
keep in mind JSF does not have a front end controller so this Controller cycle only works with Struts and not JSF

 1.A request comes in with a certain extension(used to be .do), the container maps it to

the ActionServlet.

2. The ActionServlet acts like a front end controller and dispatches

control to a RequestProcessor.

3. The RequestProcessor finds an action tag with a path attribute that

matches the incoming request

4. Then the RequestProcessor looks for a form-bean tag that has a name

attribute that matched the action tags name attribute...aka backing bean

5. RequestProcessor instantiates a FormBean of the of based on the type

attribute

6. RequestProcessor calls populates the FormBeans fields from the

incoming request, then calls its reset method, then its validate method

7. RequestProcessor instantiates an Action based on the action tags

type attribute

8. RequestProcessor calls the action's execute (now perform) method which returns

an ActionForward (now ActionResult).

9. The RequestProcessor finds a matching ActionForward first within the

nested forward tags, then from within the global-forwards tag.

Note: if  the validate method returns an ActionMessage then the

RequestProcessor forward the request to the resource specified in the

action's input attribute
