Hello, Your "press release" gave a lot of good information on XWork and WW2 (well, at least for me the new user of WW1.3 anyways)... the highlighting of the separation is definitely a great finding for us. I found your writing informative and helpful, and the first paragraph below is great too!
I think we'll make the switch in the near future... hopefully some good tutorials and good samples are already out (haven't looked just yet)!

Try this for the first paragraph: This is the first release of a complete rewrite of WebWork, a hierarchical pull-MVC framework. Many web frameworks suffer from being tightly coupled to the Servlet spec when it is not necessary, especially Struts. This makes both unit testing your command components (Actions in Xwork / WebWork) and reusing them outside a web application very difficult or impossible. With XWork, the OpenSymphony team went back to the drawing board to create a powerful generic command pattern implementation which makes unit testing and code reuse much simpler. WebWork2 leverages the power of XWork at its core and builds upon it with web application framework specific code. This separation allows for each project to specialize and do what it does best without the possibility of contaminating or limiting either code base. > -----Original Message----- > From: Hani Suleiman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 10:16 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] XW/WW2 "press release" text for review > > > > On Monday, August 18, 2003, at 09:56 PM, Jason Carreira wrote: > > > > > > >> -----Original Message----- > >> From: Hani Suleiman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 9:29 PM > >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] XW/WW2 "press release" text for review > >> > >> > >> 1) I don't see the need to cuss webwork1. > > > > I didn't see it that way.
