Too Much Bleeding?

So our development group decided against using Struts 2 and Tibco GI for the view on our latest project. After spending roughly 30 hours researching and playing with the online examples, it became apparant that there were security holes with OGNL (already addressed) and unexpected complexities with the integration of the GI layer.

We are exploring Spring MVC with JQuery now to keep things simpler for our small interface to a new transaction processing network gateway application. I can't deny that I'm dissappointed...a little more effort and late nights would have yielded the results we were seeking using our original design; however, the suits want to software one month sooner than expected, so its time to put something together without all the bells and whistles.
