Here's a first pass at mission statements for Xwork 1.0 and Webwork 2.0. Hopefully this will help clear up what Xwork is, what Webwork is, and what is and is not in scope for each project.
Xwork 1.0 Mission Statement: The Purpose: To create a generic, reusable, and extensible command pattern framework not tied to any particular usage. Features: * Flexible and customizable configuration based on a simple Configuration interface * Core command pattern framework which can be customized and extended through the use of interceptors to fit any request / response environment * Built in type conversion and action property validation using Ognl * Powerful validation framework based on runtime attributes and a validation interceptor Webwork 2.0 Mission Statement: The Purpose: To create the best Model-2 MVC web application framework supporting advanced web application development paradigms such as component based development and code reuse. Features: * Built on XWork, but customized to be specifically tailored for web application development * Custom web-specific Xwork interceptors * Flexible configuration extended from Xwork with web-specific configuration parameters * Multiple web-based views, including custom JSP taglibs, Velocity support with pre-built macros, XSLT views, and JasperReports -- 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: Scholarships for Techies!
