Hi Fernando, I'm not Matthias and I'm also currently only evaluating androMDA but maybe I can share my thoughts with you as well ;-)
I just looked at the Tapestry website, and I think it's a very interesting technology, though it reminds me alot of XMLC: http://xmlc.enhydra.org/ In XMLC you write normal HTML/WML etc. pages and mark the parts that you want to be dynamic with standard HTML 4.0 id attributes like this: <td id="name">John</td> The HTML pages are then processed by the XMLC engine and turned into XML trees which can be modified and then rendered to the browser. This way you can, for example, let the designers add mockup data to the pages just to demonstrate how the page should look (also nice for customer presentations!) and then have your program automatically remove the mockup. For androMDA this could mean that one could generate HTML pages that contain test data (which is probably associated with the entites!) and use these pages for presentations without the need to install everything on an application server. I used XMLC about two years back on a project together with Struts. We had a helper class that automatically filled the HTML tags that where marked with an id attribute with the corresponding values from the form bean. I think this is a very nice and efficient way to write web applications, since it truely separates the presentation part from the programming part. So, if Tapestry does all that and one could as well combine it with Struts I would really like to see a cartridge that generates HTML pages instead of JSPs for the WebPage Stereotype :-) Cheers, Mark ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Andromda-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/andromda-user
