I would go so far as to suggest three layers, the client-side (Ajax), the server-side (Struts), and the business-side (XWork or Nexus). In practice, many web application frameworks end up doing double duty. Since there are few business logic frameworks, developers tend to put features into presentation frameworks that don't need to be there. We just don't have another place to put them :) I've been working on a view-agnostic business-logic framework in the sandbox, based on Commons CoR, but, alas, all the code is still in C#. * http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/OVR/WhitePaper > We're seeing a lot of experimentation in that direction...

And, unlike ASP.NET and JSF, the open source frameworks represent the technologies that front-line developers actually *want* to use. Otherwise, we would not have built them :) -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
