Hotels.com powered by Struts! This is kind of a cool announcement - giving more credibility to Struts. Personally, I think all the leading web application frameworks are great - and can probably be learned in a week or two (or a few days/hours!) - so it's not about which one you're using, it's about if you're using one or not. If you are - you're on the right path. If not, you're probably wasting a lot of time developing your own.

I am proud to announce the successful launch of a major vacation packaging site whose presentation tier has been built entirely with Struts:

http://packaging.hotels.com/packaging/index.do

We have made extensive use of the Struts MVC framework, custom tags, and I18N components, with some custom modifications. It has proven itself to be a stable and robust platform, able to amply handle the needs of both our users and management.

I would like to applaud everyone who has worked on the Struts project; it has been shown yet again to be an excellent framework for a commerical web application.

If the frontend is struts, what was the chosen platform / solution to the backend? J2EE,? It would be nice to see what other production systems use. At present we use struts -> Full J2EE (Session Entity MDBeans) and are fairly happy with everything under moderate load.
