Do companies still use Struts and JSP? I always see them on job listings for Java jobs but I can't tell if companies actually use them or if headhunters just copy and paste a generic Java developer listing from like 10 years ago.

Not only do companies have various versions and legacy systems that utilize older technology, they expect us to provide the most up-to-date skills on our development, plus be able to integrate into their older sytems, which is a lot easier if you have the older technology (even if it's from awhile ago)...... We can't all copy and paste the same ad LOL
