Personally, I don't plan to write a set of custom tags for Struts 2.0. I would expect Struts 2.0 to be written in such a way that custom tags (or Velocity tools) are not needed. But if they were needed, and someone wrote a set that was popular within our community, then I would consider

Oh well, I guess I'll look elsewhere for a framework. If you can only use a framework that only bundles everything into one monothlitic distribution, then yes you should. We tried that, and it is clearly not working. If monolithic is the only way we could do things in the future, then I would

But what about when the V directly communicates with the C? This all started with the cancel tag. It is very much a struts specific tag that tells the controller that the action should be cancelled. So, in this case, the taglib is required by the controller. Otherwise, a different mechanism

From: Edgar P Dollin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2) JSTL is a waste of time. The reason I say this, not counting the non-java people, is if you can write x number of lines of useful code per hour, with jstl that is reduced by a factor greater than 1 due to type checking, refactoring

This contradicts point 1. If using JSTL tags is a waste of time, so is using Struts tags. Absolutely not. There is no logic in the view layer of the struts tags. JSTL assumes you have to put the object in the scope, know something about it in order to traverse it etc. If you want your

So you would have to view be disconnected, and therefore when changes occur in the business objects have only testing and a human mind connect the two ? Considering the poor shape of open source view level testing tools this argument seems to be resting on shaky grounds. Edgar

Speak for yourself, I use Struts-EL and JSTL quite happily. One day I would like to generate XML for the view and use XSLT to transform it into HTML to which a CSS is applied, but I don't yet know how. There are already solutions for this although this seems like a problem waiting to happen.

So, again, what if the cancel button (the patch that started this whole thread) was patched to allow the proposed behavior, but didn't require javascript? Meaning, it used javascript if possible, and if the browser didn't use it provided the old/default method? The javascript in question is

Thanks. As to your prior point, I will explain why a goal of being able to swap the view and controller is of a lower priority to me than having an integrated set of tags with the controller. Work gets planned and paid for by project. A typical project would be to web enable or web service
