Merger of WebWork and Struts
On November 27, 2005, WebWork developer Patrick Lightbody announced that WebWork would be used as the basis for Apache Struts 2. The following release 2.2.x will still be sold under the name WebWork, but advanced features and major releases will only run under Struts2.
In a joint proposal by WebWork and Struts committers, it was announced that the Struts 1.x-like WebWork framework would be a better basis for Struts2 and that the merger would benefit from the technical superiority of WebWork and the larger Struts community.
