Well, you could use the wafer example as an omen. There've been lots of comments on the wafer list where people are STARTING a struts implementation... and starting... and starting. This is a toolkit where you have LOTS of tools to do the work for you. NOT good, IMHO, when I - a non-webwork power user - can do the wafer impl in a few hours. In struts, you find a much more verbose configuration file - think "xwork.xml" or "action.xml," except worse. You also have forms treated separately from actions, which is a little more work (and a little more abstract) than webwork's implementation. You don't have the concept of chaining where results of one action can be passed to the next a la findValue(). yuck. > Thanks, > > Jason > > -- > Jason Carreira > Technical Architect, Notiva Corp. > phone: 585.240.2793 > fax: 585.272.8118 > email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --- > Notiva - optimizing trade relationships (tm) > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte > are you planning your Web Server Security?
