I believe it is not only your web application framework that need to be considered here. Struts is surely a light weight MVC based web application framework. But if you are planning to create a webapp to handle 600,000 requests then you need many other things, few are mentioned here

  • Hardware/software load balancers
  • Cluster of web servers
  • If there are DB interactions for most of the requests then load balance your DBs
  • Proper cache frameworks

There may be different options available to address the above points. But be careful in whatever you chose. You may have to run performance checks on different parts/frameworks in your application. This will help you to understand what can slow down your application.

Hope it helps!

  • I was planning on using heroku which would provide load balancing and also theiir postgresql solution with hibernate framework – user2054833 May 19 '13 at 03:11
  • I am not sure about heroku. But the point is whatever you chose be careful about it. You may have to run performance checks on different parts/frameworks in your application. This will help you to understand what can slow down your application. – Juned Ahsan May 19 '13 at 03:13
  • How about the framework is it one worth learning today or is it a legacy framework? – user2054833 May 19 '13 at 03:16
  • Are you asking about struts? – Juned Ahsan May 19 '13 at 03:16
  • Yes is it something that is being used for modern web application and also does it play well with new web technologies – user2054833 May 19 '13 at 03:24
  • Yes it is a good choice but there are other alternatives such as Spring MVC. Check this post and the shared links for a good comparision: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5123816/struts2-vs-spring-3 – Juned Ahsan May 19 '13 at 04:57
