Subject: Porting your WW1 apps to WW2
Hi,,
How difficult will it be to port your WW1.3 apps to WW2, also....here's a comment I
picked up from the web about Struts and WW, read.....
One of the appealing things about Webwork
<http://www.opensymphony.com/webwork/> is that Webwork actions are not tied to the web
(i.e.
the Servlet API) in the way that Struts <http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/> actions
are. You can use Webwork as a generic action framework, implement
your business APIs as actions, and then re-use those APIs behind any UI technology:
web, Swing, AWT, command-line, etc. You've probably heard WebWork
advocates tout this genericity as a major advantage of Webwork over Struts. According
to Anders Hovmoeller, writing
<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1513413&forum_id=10237> to the
WebWork mailing list, it is the key advantage of WebWork over
Struts:
Anders Hovmoeller In my opinion, the only really solid
argument for using WW over say Struts is that we are not locked up in a
certain environment. I firmly believe that the core parts of XW can easily avoid being
tied up to servlets, as WW does now.
But this is opinion is not shared by all WebWorkers. Rickard Oberg
<http://freeroller.net/page/rickard>, the original architect of
Webwork (who recently resigned
<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1483987&forum_id=10237> from
his position as architect of the
project), does not see it that way. This is from a Jan 13, 2003 post
<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1513416&forum_id=10237>
on the Webwork mailing list:
Rickard Oberg That WebWork turned out to be a generic command
pattern was more of an accident then by design. Because of this
genericity WebWork is not optimally designed for doing web work. Some of the
"plumbing" needs to be done by actions themselves, instead of having it
be done by the framework. I want to make WebWork/XWork *better* suited for the web,
because that is what *I* *need*. I want to get more for less. I
don't give a damn about making it work well in Swing. If it does, then whaddyaknow,
cool. If it doesn't, **** happens. If there's ever a point where I
need to decide between "keeping genericity, or making it work better for the web", the
latter is a given.
