Jason, Thanks for your reply. These two features are key for our articulated architecture of which Webwork2 is the central piece. The idea being that no matter how you view (not just about templating but also about portals vs. web-apps vs. swing clients vs. altio clients) the results of business 'actions' the logic remains the same.
XML/XSL provide us with the articulation we need in terms of connection points and for inter-operability; remote clients (ClientDispatcher) guarantee scalability on the business layer vs. presentation layer. For example, to make sure we can run the portal in a server cluster remotely (in a different context and possibly server cluster) from the central Webwork2 piece. In order of priorities for the project, XML/XSL is rather crucial and Remote invocation will become important in a few weeks. Ideally (IMHO) implementors should be able to switch from local to remote dispatchers based on the XML configuration on the client without changing anything in the client code or the server action. That provides real scalability. I have been looking at serveral frameworks in the past months and have to say that with these two features there is no framework out there that can touch Webwork2 (not that they're close). I say this because as much as I hope these features are included as quickly as possible, I realize the amount of work that has been done already. Please let me know if you have any ETA on these.
