Stripes

I came across a reference to Stripes while trying to figure out how to handle some mapping issues in Spring MVC, so I'm taking a look at it and trying to use it in place of Spring MVC on the view part of a learning app I'm building. My property mapping question is explicitly answered in the documentation, which makes me feel comfortable with the prospect of working with Stripes, although the instructions for installing and using the Stripes archetype failed badly in my environment. I'll come back to this at some point in the future, I suppose, assuming that Stripes does all that I would like it to and I'll skip that. But in the meantime, it doesn't appear that I really need it for what I'm doing, so I'll happily continue on my way as I develop my app.
