Quote: the example you bring is exceptional: sending selections of rows isn't supported by bpm4struts and therefore can't be generated
(end of quote) Quote: ... the example you bring falls in the remaining 5% (end of quote) I'm truly astonished to hear you say that. I've done a lot of sites in the last decade and allowing the user to shortlist a database selection has been part of every project. Here's an example (from my Yahoo mail account) of how common it is .... I do hope I am not annoying you by belabouring this issue. I am working in the public sector in a third world (going on fifth) country. The majority of my users are lucky to get 14.4k baud connections. The large number of request/response exchanges you are used to in your applications is scarcely workable under these circumstances. The solution is make the client-side much more intelligent with JavaScript in cached *.js files. In my applications I have had to develop a model - view - controller structure in the browser itself, using hidden frames for the controller and various models. I use a blank view frame to display HTML written to it, on-the-fly, from fragments in JavaScript strings and data arrays. Given the above I wonder how difficult it would be to create a new stereotype <<FrontEndController>> or similar. With that the cartridge would know to generate some empty JavaScript objects and methods. There could be numerous transitions back and forth from the <<FrontEndView>> and the <<FrontEndController>> as a return request was assembled. I realize this is rather 'out there', but I believe it opens the potential for a much more richly interactive client. This is especially true when you consider what people are doing with Flash (and ActionScript) to create rich thin-clients. -- Regards, Hasan _________________________________________________________ Reply to the post : http://galaxy.andromda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=923#923 Posting to http://forum.andromda.org/ is preferred over posting to the mailing list! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
