AbleCommerce CFMX5.5 uses Jakarta Velocity to manage dynamic email generation. I have bought 2 books on Velocity and done much searching about Velocity on the net and the more I read I find that it may be an alternative application language to CF. In my application I have: Able Commerce (Java Based Cart) with a CF built Web Output and management application. I am running MySQL4, but will upgrade to 5 when I know it will be ok, and have the time to do it. I use Navicat (and LOVE IT) to manage MySQL. I have a need to develop an intranet to bring AbleCommerce to the level that it isn't, for my application. With all that my mind asks the question... Could Struts and Velocity do the same job? If yes what are the pros and cons? yes, they could. Struts and Velocity are a combo of framework and JSP tag lib, plus a few other classes. ColdFusion is not much different really, but it encapsulates more low level 'stuff' and will be quicker to pick up and run with. Struts and Velocity are going to require quite a bit more understanding of J2EE/Java. What motivated me to ask this question? ------------------------------------ I stumbled onto this blog comment at http://weblogs.macromedia.com/cantrell/archives/2003/04/controlling_whi.cfm <http://weblogs.macromedia.com/cantrell/archives/2003/04/controlling_whi.cfm > ------------------------------------ And if you are on MX, and are using Java, why use CF at all? Just move over to a struts/Velocity/Servlet framework and do away with the crap called ColdFusion. ------------------------------------ Comments?? PS. Charlie I know its not my day but what the hey?
