- structural separation of data presentation and business logic
- easy separation of development tasks (web design, database, …)
- increases maintainability and extendibility (new views!)
- increases reusability of code
- Struts provides a Controller that manages the control flow
- changes in the flow can all be done in struts-config.xml
- abstraction from (hard coded) filenames (forwards)
- easy localization (internationalization is more important than ever)
- based on standard Java technologies (JSP, Servlets, JavaBeans)
- thus running on all kinds of JSP/Servlet containers
- open-source
- affordable
- no dependence on external companies
- robustness (due to freely accessible source code)
- open-source project with growing developer community
