RE: MVC/XML Framework Comments please

We're struggling with struts in WebLogic (yuck) right now.  Could we please get
a copy of your framework?  Very much appreciated...

 transformations, and is very similar to Struts only that I found struts too
 much for my needs, and some features it didn't do that I needed, so I went
 that direction.

 Subject: MVC/XML Framework Comments please
 
 
 
 We are bout to pick a a framework, and I am looking for are comments or 
 recommendation on a frameworks, other than Struts. (Don't want to be 
 HTML/JSP centric) Any feedback on your experience with a framework, or do 
 you know of web sites in production that are using a certain frame work, or 
 do you know of friend or someone who has used one. 
 
 I would like it to be XML centric, and MVC. For example, the V should apply 
 the XSL to XML, to make it HTML. It should do standard session tracking. It 
 should do standard data manager, so that Java Beans do the SQL (the M). A 
 minor plus is form entry management and a bit of image/content management. 
 It should be a single rich framework. Here are a few we are considering:

 http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/site/index.html

 and all the ones under Jakarta. 
 
 We need to pick one soon. Any comments and feedback welcome on 
 frameworks/class libraries.

RE: Orion in production

2000-10-23 Thread Richard E. Sansom

Does anybody have any definitive numbers on this?  What about Volano?

I typically have found that for small-scale applications, I often get faster
performance with the Windows JVMs (much to my chagrin ;^).  For example, I
almost never run Forte CE under Linux or even Solaris.  It's not until you
really start cranking up the application that you start to see a difference, in
terms of performance under high loads and scalability.

As far as Linux and Java 2 goes, Sun's 1.3 implementation was the first real
performer, although it looks like Blackdown's beta appears to be giving Sun a
run for its money (especially with AWT and Swing applications - Blackdown wins,
hands-down).  Even though IBM looks like it has another performance leader in
its 1.3 implementation, it looks rather buggy and unstable at this point.  

Thoughts?

xsl:output?

2000-09-22 Thread Richard E. Sansom

I tried to get the /examples/xsl/doc.jsp file from my Netscape 4.72 browser
running on Linux and I found out that the mime type for the response is
"text/xml" - I modified the doc.xsl stylesheet so that the "xsl:output" type is
"html" instead of "xml" but the mime type doesn't change.  I know that if I
change the mime type of doc.jsp to anything other than "text/xml" I won't get
the XSLServlet to kick in.

How can I get the mime type of the transformed document (the output of the
XSLServlet) to be "text/html?"
