Yep, in much that same way that JSP was a direct corollary to ASP
Classic. I'm studying JSF and working in ASPX full time now. From what
I can see, JSF does do ASPX one-better in some places.

Out of the box, ASPX is still missing a few critical pieces, as is
JSF. On the .NET side, Spring.Web is starting to patch those hole
(thanks guys!), and on the JSF side, Shale is trying to do the same.

But, none of this is news. We've always said that platforms like ASPX
and JSF are never complete out of the box, no more than JSP or ASP
were. Back in 2000, the Struts community stepped up and provided the
missing pieces for JSP, and now we're doing the same thing for JSF.

But not because we're trying to fill some marketing niche. We need
this stuff to ship our own applications, and we know from experience

Re: JSF vs. Struts

2005-08-22 Thread Rich Feit
I consider the "JSF-is-hopeless" megaphone to be hype also.  :)  I 
really do think JSF has great potential, especially as tools vendors 
latch onto it.  What I object to is the "JSF-is-here-Struts-is-dead" 
hype.  My personal belief is that JSF itself -- the technology that was 
described in David's article -- will succeed mainly in the view tier.  
In my opinion, it is not the best option for a comprehensive app 
framework... but then again, a benefit of it being consummately 
pluggable is that it can integrate with other technologies.  Including 
Struts or other controller frameworks.



...Classic and Shale can be healthier together than apart.


+1

BTW, there's been some blurring of the distinction between Shale and JSF 
(a distinction which does exist for now ;) ).  I'm talking about JSF 
alone here, as was the "Top Ten Reasons..." article.  I think that 
Shale, while it can't be trumpeted as a Standard the way JSF is, adds 
enormous value to JSF.

Hmm... I'm just about to post a reply to that entry.  Basically, I feel 
that although JSF itself can be great view-tier technology, it isn't 
really a full replacement for Struts.  JSF+Shale *is* a replacement for 
Struts, but I think that's a point which is often lost.  An interesting 
thing about Struts Ti is that it would treat JSF as a first-class view 
tier without depending on it for anything else.  That may or may not 
turn out to be important, but it does keep JSF as a peer to other view 
technologies, rather than at the core.


I don't think JSF and Struts are incompatible, as long as JSF is being 
used as a (powerful) view.  Intra-page event handling works fine with 
something like Struts.  When the other more general-framework-type 
functionality is used, there's a conflict.


In general, I agree with the sentiment that there's a lot of hype in 
this arena, and not all of it is easily backed up.  But the Struts 
community has always been a bit hype-adverse, no?

Subject: Re: JSF vs. Struts


I personally think all this exploration is a Very Good 
Thing(tm).  There 
are a vast number of different ideas out there as to how a modern 
application framework should be built.  Mistakes have been 
made over the 
years, lessons have been learned, but we don't all agree on what the 
mistakes were or what the lessons are!  If that sounds bad to 
anyone, it 
isn't.  It's quite the opposite and is the only way healthy 
debate and 
ultimately progress is made.


At some point we're going to have to all weed out the options 
that don't 
quite measure up, and that will happen via simple market forces (the 
market in this case being mostly developer mind share), but I don't 
think that time is now, so the more experimentation, the better.


I for one am not willing to declare one thing better than 
another... I 
regret having done that in the past prematurely, and 
certainly not in a 
manner I'm especially proud of.  So, I'm certainly not going 
to make the 
same mistake twice.


I'm still not sold on JSF, that much has not changed.  I do however 
think there is some decent ideas underpinning it, which is 
also the case 
for many of the other frameworks and approaches out there, so 
declaring 
JSF or anything else for that matter a failure now is 
probably not fair 
either.  I do think Jack's point about JSF being around for a 
while and 
not really setting the world on fire is fair, although that 
doesn't mean 
it has failed, just that it's going a little slower than 
hoped.  My take 
on JSF is simply this: we'll see.  I'm not sold yet, but I'm 
not willing 
to say I never will be.


As for Shale, I'm not sure I understand why Rod or anyone says that 
Struts and JSF are not compatible... if the thinking is that 
the result 
will be quite a bit different from Struts as we know it today, then I 
suppose he might be right.  That to me doesn't make them incompatible 
though.  From what I have seen of JSF, and what I know of 
Struts, I can 
conceive of ways they could be fit together.  I haven't had a 
chance to 
get into Shale yet, but I have no doubt many of those ideas, and many 
more I haven't thought of, are present.  Why they are incompatible I 
just don't get, and I don't care who is making the claim, no 
matter how 
well-respected they are, I need to see some real, concrete examples 
before I'm convinced.


Struts Ti looks pretty interesting... many of the ideas that were 
described here a few days ago were quite good in my mind.  
Should it be 
the future of Struts?  I don't know yet, and I'm not even sure those 
developing it would be willing to say that at this juncture.  It's 
another possible path, another exploration of possibilities, 
and that's 
good.


One thing is for sure: most of us look back on the way we developed 
applications just five years ago and wonder why we ever did 
things that 
way.  I have absolutely no doubt we'll be doing the same thing in 
another five years.  I too would like to see less hype sometimes, but 
promoting ones' ideas is human nature.  If you think you have a 
compelling answer, or even the One True Answer, you tell 
people about it 
and try and convince them.  That's hype.  It may not always 
be helpful, 
but it's perfectly natural :)

different aspects of web development.  Of course, there will be Struts
classic still for a long time to come which will continue to forego
active development.

I think Struts is realizing there is no "one way" when it comes to web
development.  If a particular project or approach interests you, join
in.  Personally, I think shale will be a great success building on the
strong JSF framework, and if it meets your needs, give it a shot.
Just as not every web application is the same, neither is their needs
for a framework.

Re: JSF vs. Struts

2005-08-10 Thread Dakota Jack
I have to agree personally with Rod Johnson "J2EE without EJBs",
Spring framework architect, etc., when he says that Shale is merely a
stopgap and that Struts as we know it is simply incompatible with JSF.
 That seems fairly obvious and I find it hard to believe that anyone
familiar with the issues would think any differently.  I personally
would not hire anyone would thought differently, whether they like JSF
or not.

JSF is not new.  JSF has been around forever, so it cannot be the
cutting edge.  If it is cutting, it is the "cutting middle" and almost
the "cutting tailend".  The JSF idea has been around even longer with
all sorts of frameworks which I personally think do it better. 
Indeed, I think it fair to say that one of the main architects of the
JSF framework has said as much but has to feed his family.

Certainly, if you like JSF, knock yourself out.  Love it to death.  I
don't care.  I only care about giving people that ask a fair
evaluation of the product without the hype.

I figured it was something like that :)  Would have been a bit of a 
bombshell to drop matter-of-factly otherwise :)


I'm reminded of a scene from Babylon 5 where Londo and Vir are 
conspiring to kill the emperor and they are talking about after they 
poison him, depending on how fast the poison acts, he might have time to 
stumble into his guards and say "Londo killed me!"... then again, he 
might be all delirious and yell out "KILL LONDO!" instead :)


So, forgo vs. undergo... not QUITE as big a mistake :)

Re: JSF vs. Struts

2005-08-10 Thread Don Brown
Quick correction: Struts is _not_ forking in any sense of the word. 
Struts Ti is a sandbox project several of us are working on as an
exploration of a simplified framework more like Ruby on Rails than
JSF.  It has not been accepted as a Struts subproject, just as Shale
has not been accepted as "Struts 2.0".

The Struts project is currently in, what I would call, a state of
exploration.  In addition to Shale and Ti, there are other projects
like Struts Overdrive, Struts Flow, etc., which are also exploring
different aspects of web development.  Of course, there will be Struts
classic still for a long time to come which will continue to forego
active development.

I think Struts is realizing there is no "one way" when it comes to web
development.  If a particular project or approach interests you, join
in.  Personally, I think shale will be a great success building on the
strong JSF framework, and if it meets your needs, give it a shot. 
Just as not every web application is the same, neither is their needs
for a framework.

Hooking up the output side of that should be a piece of cake ... write
some components that render the necessary markup to embed the Flash
stuff in the generated page. I'm not familiar with the input side of
using Flash for this, but in principle it should still just be a
matter of having your component (or renderer) decode() method parse
the appropriate request parameters and store the values, just as the
standard HTML components do.

RE: JSF vs Struts

2004-07-21 Thread Hookom, Jacob
Just checking if there was anything in the works for a JSF implementation
within Apache...

I've already contributed a complete re-write of the EL parser to Sun's
JSF-RI, but the stuff I did elsewhere in my JSF implementation is a lot
different than what I've seen in both MyFaces and in JSF-RI.  Such as in the
way I handle config loading, action URL resolution, valid XHTML Renderkits,
NIO character encoding/decoding, etc.

Basically I've been looking for another avenue to contribute a more complete
solution to the JSF API without intruding on an existing projects and the
way they've tackled the same problems.

Thanks,
Jacob Hookom

however, some minutes ago, i mailed your mail to myfaces-develop-list.
since it was deep in my incoming-mail-folder... :-)

have you checked out MyFaces-CVS-Head yet?
so perhaps you can do some performance-issue there too.

btw. does yours support portlet?
myfaces doesn't - for now -

btw. since some days there is tiles-support and so on,
with a special, optional TilesViewHandlerImpl.clazz

see more on

http://sourceforge.net/projects/myfaces

regards,
Matthias

RE: JSF vs Struts

2004-07-21 Thread James Holmes
The MyFaces open source project is currently becoming an official Apache
project through the Apache Incubator.  MyFaces has some custom components
along with its full implementation of the JSF spec.  Perhaps you could
contribute to that project??

Would there be any interest in starting an Apache JSF implementation with a
component repository for the open source community?  I have about 80% of an
implementation written...

Hooking up the output side of that should be a piece of cake ... write
some components that render the necessary markup to embed the Flash
stuff in the generated page.  I'm not familiar with the input side of
using Flash for this, but in principle it should still just be a
matter of having your component (or renderer) decode() method parse
the appropriate request parameters and store the values, just as the
standard HTML components do.

Hooking up the output side of that should be a piece of cake ... write
some components that render the necessary markup to embed the Flash
