&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This article is the first in a series that explores why Struts 1 still shows up (quietly but persistently) in enterprise systems in 2026, and what that means for teams trying to keep the lights on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We look at:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Discovery Effect&lt;/strong&gt;: How stable, forgotten Struts apps resurface during audits, migrations, and security scans.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where the Friction Really Is&lt;/strong&gt;: The talent shortage, the tooling disconnect, and the Jakarta EE shift: all colliding to make legacy upkeep harder than it should be.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Modernisation Without the Fantasy: Why the rewrite-or-risk framing misleads teams, and how approaches like embedding Struts in Spring Boot create workable transition paths.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buying Breathing Room&lt;/strong&gt;: How extended support gives organisations time to avoid crisis-driven decision-making.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
