[ANN] WebWork 2.0 and XWork 1.0 Released! From the WebWork mailing list: 

I'm pleased to announce the release of WebWork 2.0. You can download it
at:

https://webwork.dev.java.net/files/documents/693/2886/webwork-2.0.zip

XWork 1.0 has also been released and is available at:

https://xwork.dev.java.net/files/documents/709/2885/xwork-1.0.zip

Thank you to everyone who provided patches, support, and ideas for over
the past year to get this project from initial concept to completion.

Congrats to all who lent a hand in getting this release out. We all know that releasing software is a great feeling - hope these guys enjoy a night or two of good sleep.

It looks like Spring 2004 is going to be a fun time - WebWork 2.0, Spring 1.0, JSF 1.0 (in March) and Tapestry 3.0 is right around the corner. It's a good time to learn a new web framework. Now if we could only get them to agree on something like their choice of expression languages and validation. ;-) Posted in Java at Feb 08 2004, 10:32:06 PM MST 2 Comments

Tapestry and WebWork 2.0 HAVE agreed... OGNL is used in both. But you know how JSR projects go, they'll re-invent something that's already out there, not getting it nearly as good, just because the existing solution wasn't developed as a "spec".

I know where you're coming from because I do use Hibernate. However, I do think that JSTL's EL is a powerful solution. Granted, I'm not that familiar with OGNL, but I'm sure it's equally as powerful. It's just too bad we can't all get along. ;-)
